Another thing to look for in full widths is some of the 60's don't have room on the short side for a coil mount. You would have to run coil-overs or leaf springs. A good thing about 60's is its really easy to do high steer and you can run your tie rod behind the axle. Something to look for with full width 44's is some of the ford radius arm axles have cast on wedges for mounts. If you cut the wedges off the axle will fall apart.

Ive been thinking about narrowing my hp44 for my next jeep. I was going to use my waggy 44 but I don't like the idea of a lp44 for comp use.

Good to know. I think the whole thing will be out of my price range considering I already have an 8.8 to put in, but I was reading up to get acquainted with it all. I'll be splitting money and time between two vehicles now, so everything's gonna happen more slowly.
