I'm sure they will.

I'd guess he's telling you that there full width Dana 44s.

None of them are just going to bolt in.

Are you talking about front or rear?

What year?

What'd they come from?

How much work are you willing to do?

What color is your Jeep?

Could be a set of wide tracks out of a CJ.

They will have leaf perches on both axles.

Its from a CJ-7. I didnt know that at first, I was hoping to get both front and rear to get 3.55 gear ratio, I currently have 4.10.
