Yep you are correct 3" shorter per side would put right about under the frame rails...I would pass on it if I were you <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">Originally posted by Kicker:
<STRONG>So would 55" ones work? 3" shorter per side seems a bit much to me</STRONG>
55" backing plate to plate is around 61-62" flange to flange. That is right around stock YJ width. And yes nobody should be measuring BP - BPOriginally posted by Kicker:

Are the housings 55" from backing plate to backing plate? Or anywhere close?
Will a 55" work good in a YJ??
Thanks.

My Scout 44 rear is 58". I got the TSM disk brake kit which makes it 58.5" now <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0"> With 35x15.5 SX's on a 10" rim with 3.5" backspacing the clearance between the frame and tire is marginal. I won't be surprised if it rubs a little on the frame, but I'm also considering 1" spacers so it'll be closer to my 61" Waggy front.Originally posted by Rockslut.:
<STRONG>Scout II axles are almost the same width they are around 59"
