What axles should I use for the swap?

[ford381stroker]

I went to the junk yard yesterday. I have access to all of the following axles at the junk yard for $125 and under.

Chevy Dana 44 / Coporate 14 bolt or Dana 60 or Dana 70

Ford Dana 44 / Ford 9" or Dana 60 or Dana 70

Jeep Waggy Dana 44/ Dana 44

Jeep waggy Dana 44/ Dana 20

Jeep Cherokee Dana 30/ Dana 35

Please make recommendations and how well they bolt up to the Samurai Suspension. Need to figure out by Saturday when I go back to the junk yard.

well:
the ford is a drivers drop - out
the cherokee is drivers drop - out
waggys not sure what side they drop on

what size tires you looking to run?

[TX_ZUKI]

Waggy are passenger drop and are great axles.
Chevy D44/14 bolt are heavy, but strong, that is what I run.

[Zee]

Waggy 44's f&r as long as the drop is correct.
then you can use dana 44 flat tops to do your high steer.

I am in the process of chevy axles but if I had a pick I would go waggy.

[ford381stroker]

don't you have to outboard the springs if you use the waggy axles?

[Hardline]

don't you have to outboard the springs if you use the waggy axles?
Yes. Or you could do like TatorZuk did. Look up his build. That was sweet!

[ford381stroker]

does anyone on here make a kit for outboarding the springs? I am almost debating on doing coil overs.

[germ]

Yeah just go with coilovers if you don't do it know then you will down the road someday.

[ford381stroker]

does anyone make a kit that outboards the springs? I am going to the junk yard tomorrow morning and need to know what I should yank. I could yank the Yota axles....but I will probably get the waggy axles. Should I yank the Yota driveshafts???? Or should i yank the driveshafts out of the Waggy?

[Itsmejoe231]

I dont think there is a big market for outboarding the springs so no one sells a kit.

I dont have an answer for the axles. If you were to get the toyota axles, grab the toy d-shafts with them. I dont know what the people are running with the waggy axles but you probably cant go wrong by getting the d-shafts for them if that is what you get.

[zukking01]

I agree with joe. Whatever axles you yank get the d shaft because you know that end will match the axle and it you need make a d shaft using one side of zuk and one side new.
