Well its the bare min for some competition rules so it should be good for me... and wont limit options later.

metal mart now stocks HREW tube? thats awesom if they do since they are closer to me. but wasatch metals had a better deal then SSS so i've got all mine from them.
I have no real Idea, just know what I read at this point. I'll go with anything reasonably priced, most of it is going to be gifted to me so the more I get the better

no you have to cut and swap the inner C's for that to work. then you'd still be running the unit bearing tho.

they will order it but it's not any cheaper than marmon

yeah, I have heard mixed things about it... but have come across a lot of threads talking about how they can have it but don't "carry it in large amounts" and do not regularly stock it lol, Just threw out the most popular places I've come across in my searches. Sextons off-road doesn't list any info about selling metal on there site,but I will call them.
see above

or i guess is there a hub that works with the 44 for the same bolt pattern. probably a dumb question but i'm lazy tonight
see above

actually a waggy 44 has many options, most are pricey time consuming ones but they do have more options than the EB, FS or chev 44, but the ford and chev 44's are cheaper and easier to build. you can even take a ford HP44 and swap inner C's so you can run the unit bearings and 5 on 4.5 pattern.

just curious, but unless your planning on competing in WERock then 1.5 will due just fine, and save weight since your going to be keeping the body. plus 1.5 looks way better with the XJ body lines IMO

well, I don't think I will, unless I get a sponsor... cough... cough...

But either way, I don't really care at the end of the day. Just based that off of what I have been reading and the min comp requirements lol

if your thinking of OSRC then 1.5 will pass craig's tech insp.

i just don't want you to put on all that 1.75 then decide it looks like poop and wanna redo it all, then it becomes a waste of money ha ha
