Ok, I have a built HP D44 w/ cast radius arm mounts. I plan to retube w/ 1/2" thick tubes.
Since I am retubing, should I go ahead and put D60 outters on? I am a real newb to building axles so please just bare with me. The axle has Hysteer arms, Warn hubs, and Warn shafts, and its 5 on 5 1/2, which almost everything will have to go so I am not sure about adding 60 outters or not (Plus the $$ factor). What all would be involved on a 78ish HP Ford D44 to add D60 outters to new tubes?
Also I want my tires to fit under the rig pretty nicely,so I can live with 65" wms to wms (stock 67"?), but I was planning on running 5.5" bs wheels to tuck in more. I was told even with 17" wheels I can't do it because of my hysteer arms. Is this true?
I was also told even at 65" I will have to get custom cut to length shafts. So what length shorter than 67"s is avalible? If nothing how much more usually to get shafts made?
Thanks
