well i am putting a front 44 out of a 79 ford that has the cast in wedges. i am going to keep it full width and run the radius arms. if you are running them i could use pics and advise.

also what are the best type of joints to run at the frame end on these. controll arm bushings or hiems or the stock radius arm bushings
 
I'm using a 2x4 box tube x-member and running Currie 2.5" Johnny joints on the ends of mine. Didn't like Hiems because of the wear issues, better safe than sorry for me, though others swear by them. JMO Regular rubber bushings may do ok but the travel is already limited by the wedge design and I'm sure rubber on both ends may just bind up.
 
I am running RE SuperJoints
 
Mines still under construction but heres some I found while searching
