Default I need your guys' opinion!

I'm thinking about going full width.. There's a junkyard with a waggy that has d44 front and rear. I currently have a d30/8.25 combo with 4.10's. My original plan was to get a lock rite for my rear and call it a day, till my buddy (sorry jake for borrowing this idea ) got a set of full widths and i realized how easy it would be to do the swap. My plan would be to get the axles and do a slow build on them till i can get them done. Start off with getting and doing the proper mounts for it, then to re-gear them to 4.56/88 (havent decided), new breaks if they need them too. Then i'd paint them up all nice nice and put them underneath! I eventually plan on running a low cog setup and 35's.. anyway, give me your opinions on what you would go with?

Waggy axles aren't full width they are about 1/2" wider than what you have. Not a big jump in strength from what you have but you'll gain locking hubs, get away from c-clip axles, easier high steer options and better locker and gear options.

well half inch isnt bad, i was under tje impression that they were full width. But would the swap be worth it? Other than losing the c-clip and locking hubs? aren't they 30 spline?

Yes they are 30 spline but the front is low pinion.
