if the shafts will fit through the seal's with no problems you should be good to go.

Ok, I understand now. Mine did that while I had the inverted T and my bracket was up high for crossover, Every time I would come over a bump it would push right on up, then pull left as it came down. Would be very weird feeling over overpasses And larger bumps. I would think that since mine went away with moving it up to match my track bar bracket (axle side) It should go away when you move your track bar bracket (axle side) to match the steering arm hieght at the knuckle. I hope I am making sense lol

you are correct sir! Here is the best part about that axle. EVERY D44 LP has the same parts! (except shafts/brakes) Which is why things are so cheap...

what parts are you looking for? I bet I can find them!

well it's not in great shape, so i was planning on getting new bearings, seals, shafts, ring and pinion, and locker... a locker will replace the carrier right? ive never heard but from the pictures it looks like it. i was thinkin about a spartan, but i haven't really looked that far into it yet

Well Tom is sleeping on it(my advise) but either way its looking good! other then those POS hub that just fall out when you roll it lol I mean WTF!

Thanks man for helping me out in my desperate time of need (and the mountain dews for my son). BTW, of course im gonna butter tom up for all his help...but that bronco is gonna be a beast !
Glad it got taken care of! I was on lock down at home with the baby, Or I would have been up there sooner....

Yes and NO, The 16" versions are 5x4.5 and will bolt up(but require spacers with wider tires then stock, from what I have read)

The 17" ones are 5x5.5 and will not work with out adapters...

I have read that some 16" ahd 5x5.5, and some 17" had 5x4.5 but I have never seen them so I don't buy it lol, I would measure before you buy thought!
