Sounds pricey but I usually end up making one stupid purchase per truck and this might aswell be it.....

 

I'm thinking I have a HP 44 sitting in the shop aswell as a Pair of WT 44s under my J-truck with new brakes and new warn premium lockouts.

 

Use the Jeep outers on the HP 44 and use the WT rear (Posi no less) end result dual 44s nice rims and tires (off the J-Truck) and a hell of a track width.

 

Thoughts on the kit and my plan?

there was a thread on NAXJA and speaking of which they are making one for a D60 as well

A ford HPD44 is oh, 67" WMS. About.

 

A wide track waggy is only 64" front and 62" rear. So you might have width issues.

 

 

 

Anyways, apparently that thing just welds on there and solves everything. I'm not a fan personally, but if you're looking to keep the jeep style coil suspension, WTH.

Had enough trouble getting the D60 front for my J-Truck (Paid $80 MWAHAHAHA!!!)

 

3" wider up front eh? Ahh well it will turn tighter what the hell......

It's more like 5". The WT rear axles aren't exactly 'wide'.

 

 

It'll probably look goofy.

that's cool.

 

for the price, I'd buy it...the time on install alone would be worth the $$$. I could just work at a real job instead of fabricating the parts, and that time working would pay for the kit alone...and then some.

 

I hate fabricating completely custom things...it takes too much measuring.
