Re: TOY: Dana 44 swap/ Wagoneer front D44

["jesse brown" <scmb420@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I saw it in 4wheeler magazine or one of those and I believe they had 
the perches the same width as toyotas it is just that they are wider and I 
can't remember if the IFS was 1 1/2 inches wider than the older ones or if 
they were 3 inches wider.  Other than that you just have to either go with a 
wider front axle(D44) or put wheel spacers on the front to even it out.  Now 
that I think of it I think that the IFS is 1 1/2 in so you might not be able 
to get wheel spacers big enough, All Pro sells, I believe 3/4 in spacers.  
Does anyone know the width of the Wagoneer front D44?
