I have a 44 from a 78-79 f250 that I plan on using in my sas...
Should I narrow it or go fullwidth?
I wanted to go fullwidth at first, but now as I'm thinking of moving the leaf perches in, it doesn't seem like the driver side perch will want to go into the diff any farther.
So I'm thinking about bringing it 6 inches down and using an aftermarket EB passenger axleshaft (my fullsize one is rusted anyway).
I'm thinking this way I'll end up saving a little money by being able to re-use my 8.8 already in the truck and it will be one less thing to rebuild and swap in.
From reading the article in the tech library, narrowing seems easy enough, but I am a lil paranoid about not getting it lined up right... should be able to though.
Also, I'm assuming they don't have a 5x4.5 to 8 lug adapter at all do they
Thanks guys.
