I see everyone cut their 60s. From what I see, 30/35 WMS is ~60" and you D60s range from 67-69" (WMS). If that means an average of 3.5-4.5" extra per side, which doesn't seem like too much considering the fullsizes do all the trails up here (Oregon) too (plus the cops don't care too much about how far the tires stick out).
I'm throwing around a few axle swap choices, and I'd hate to put in a 8.8" rear and a D44 front when I can get fully built 60s for $900 from guys in the for sale forum.
If you've done this, can you post a pic of what it looks like?
My primary reason for asking is that I have never cut an axle, and swapping them under with just changing some flanges, rebuilding the axle and doing brakes sounds like an easier way to go, especially since parts will be easy to find when I do break something.

Also, i'm running a hamster driven 2.5L in my '92 YJ, and I'm planning on swapping it out for a 5.0, NP435/NP203/D20 setup (most likely, but not for sure yet).
Smack me around and tell me what I should do . . .
