full width axles

[ALF]

What full width axles came with 5 on 5.5 lugs? or can be converted to such?

Ford 1/2 ton trucks, HP Dana 44 front & Ford 9" rear are 5x5.5". Probably the 2 best 1/2 ton axles out there, IMO. Most fullwidth 9's have 31 spline shafts I believe.

why??? Do you have some really cool rims or something? If you are going to go through all the trouble of adding full width axles why not go for strength?

If its for your CJ you need a passenger side drop in front so the fords will not work. Sell your bead locks to me and get your self some chevy axles in 6 or 8 lug. Oh yea there is also waggy or scout axles that will work but they are not full width.

You can use a GM or Dodge D44 pass. side drop front axle and install the Ford or Jeep rotors etc. onto it.

Then you still need to convert a rear D44/D60/14b to match the front.

or just get a rear axle from a ford

Besides, if he's going to discs in the rear then a bolt pattern change is no big deal.

true

I'd trade my beadlocks for a for a 60/14 bolt setup

I'm pretty sure that you can do a conversion to fit the 5 on 5.5. I was upgrading to Dana 60'S and I had a guy trying to talk me in to doing this same thing. I opted to spend a little more and get new wheels and tires and leave it as an 8 lug. He was saying that Randy's Ring & Pinion had a kit.

Hell I would too if I had some beadlocks in the first place. I'm still running the factory D30/D44.

The chrysler 9.25 isn't a bad half ton rear end either and its 5 on 5.5. Limited on gearing though

The 70's 9.25's are 5 on 4.5
