9.5 14B

[Luke95]

Odds are depending on how santa is, aka the boss/family I want to get the 8.8 from harry. I was wondering about this do to it being brought up and then looking threw the threads on it on pirate and one or two people at my school swaping them in chevys.

[Harry]

My 8.8 is gone.

I'm all about obscure swaps, but they gotta make sense. Not sure this would be a great option.

[Luke95]

Nice one harry!
well then, 8.25 from richerdomes yard
but why wouldent it be?
It matches a waggy 44 in bolt pattern and it seems to be tough

Dafuq?

[Luke95]

My friends junk yard Richadomes* and hes got a cherokee with 3.55 8.25 if its still their ill grab it!
But I was wondering about the 14 bolt after I wheel that for a while....

[Harry]

I'm guessing it will be 65" wide at least if it was in a full size truck. The appeal to Waggy 44s is that they are about 61" wide which is basically stock.

[Luke95]

Even the wide tracks?

[Harry]

Don't know how wide those are but probably closer. Did they come driver or passenger drop? Guess you'd have to research.

Bottom line: it's a tough semi float axle with drum brakes. It's not a common swap, probably because there are other axles with more advantages. But if it tickles your fancy, have at it!

[Harry]

Question: what are your goals? Your answer will probably help this discussion head in a direction more likely to help you.

just get weels with different backspacing... I know some other guy that did that

[Luke95]

Reasonable price to swap them in
I want something that's not much wider than it already is but I also want tough just in case I do something stupid.

No, that's gay.

This is kind of vague. I say finish your Jeep and go wheeling. Then start figuring out what axles will work for what you want to do.

[Luke95]

Well on that note, I have to bleed the brakes then shes done I did a shit ton of work last night!
