Why not long arms instead of drop brackets?

Also why narrow a good axle and lose a huge benifit to the swap just get a 9" to match the width and your good.

Choped 44 for the front beacuse I don't like the full width look for mine, an beacuse I have adj uppers and lowers so I would have waisted a lot of cash, and I don't know how much I want to put into it...
