i put a 76 ford dana 44 high pinion 8 lug into my ranger. i received a low pinion drum brake hd dana 44 and would like to stuff the 5-86x axles shafts into my light duty 44. the only clearance issues i see is lower ball joint threads and fitting it in thru the knuckle. i was thinking grind the threads off the lower ball joint and put the knuckle on after the axle is installed or grind it to fit the ears thru.
has anyone else tried this already in person and not just researched it.
