Hey guys I'm building some 1/2 tons for my wj need some info as far as will this iron rock offroad package work on a hp44 from a 77-79 f150 supercab ( leaf sprung )?
He said it was custom ordered from Jason at iro, and is species for a hp44 under an xj, will it work if I weld it in at the right angles?

Thanks man, my main concern I suppose is the coil spacing, like from center to center, xj vs wj, ya know? But this was built for a high pinion, the owner said he called in and had it custom built, iron rock doesn't list it on there site I guess, I couldn't find it anyways.
Seems like a great price compared to iron rocks d30 kit at $350

It should be fine. Only thing that may be different is if the kit is made for a high pinion versus a low pinion but i think it would work either way. Find out if your dana 44 is a high or low then give iron rock a call. Thats the only thing i can see that could differ. Maybe someone with a little more experience will chime in. Good Luck with it!

WJ axle width WMS is about 3" wider than an XJ axle. I am not certain of coil width spacing but I would be surprised if they were the same. The track bar on a WJ is also much different than an XJ, to account for the flatter drag link in the WJ's crossover steering style.
