Need advice- Full width Axles?
I need advice
I have a 1983 CJ7. 4.2 258, Bone Stock. i belive a t5 transmission and dana 300 t-case.
I am looking to put fill size axles underneath the jeep. My buddy has a 1977 Ford High pinion Dana 44 front and Dana 60 axle that, hes not sure where its from, both would have to be rebuilt.
I would like to run full size axles. Anybody have any suggestions or what i should be on the look out for. I saw Blue Torch Fab has a FULL WIDTH KIT.
I would also like to go with a high steer Kit. Any suggestions?
Any and all advice would be great
thanks

Well first off your T-case drop is on the wrong side for a Ford axle. So your either gonna have to flip the D300, or get the D44 retubed to make it p/s pumpkin. Best bet would be to find a Chevy D44 front, it won't be HP but it will be less expensive.
Bluetorch kit is a good way to go. You will have to outboard the springs and that helps out. The rear is easy, just need to reweld the spring perches to match the stock in the rear.
