Need FW Pics for Ideas

[PsYcHoBrOnCo]

Looking for pics showing Full With axles, but the combo I need to see is a D44 front and a 9in rear. And Most importantly state what back spacing and size wheels you are using. Please.

Here are some pics of mine, 44 and 9 from a 78 Bronco. Running I believe 3.5 or 3.75 BS, have to verify...36x1350 IRoks, 5.5" lift 1" BL. I included a few shots with and without flares (they dont cover much).

 

[PsYcHoBrOnCo]

Anybody else help me out with this?

Here you go. Running FW 44/9 out of a 77 f150. 15x8 with 3.5 back spacing. 5.5 suspension 2"BL on 37x12.5 MTRs

Ok, time for a thread high jacking. I have asked this before, but never got a response. What is the major difference with the full width axles? I assume they are wider, is that the only benefit, just a wider stance on the trails, or is there something else that is gained with the full width axles? Sorry about the high jack.

here's mine 79' D44/9" w/ 5.5" lift and 37's on 17"x9"'s w/ 4" backspacing oh and warflares cut to the body line.

Depending on the axles you might choose (1/2, 3/4, 1 tons), nearly all will be an upgrade in strength from stock bronco axles.
I took the 1st step up and went to 1/2 tons (77-F150)
The High pinion Dana 44 is much stronger than the stock Dana 30
The full width 9" came with 31 sline axles (an upgrade for me from my 28 splines), bigger bearing and bigger breaks.

I already have the 78 Bronc d44/9in set up...just really searching for the Backspacing. Also I'm considering the option between 8 and 10 in wide rims. Basically just gathering info.

Rob - go with 8" rims (I'd go steel) then you can buy a weld-on beadlock kit when you can afford it, and that will put you at a 9" wheel which is perfect.

3.5" or so backspacing seems to be universally great, and doesn't interfere with TRE's, brakes or anything else.

The 38's are sitting in the yard, ready for you to pick them up.

 

[brian72]

since you are already going wider go with 8" rim. That will help the width of tire not stick out toooooo far.

 

[Tito]

Unless you are going to run some big ass boggers or MT's I'd stick with the 8 if you are going to beadlock, if not I'd run the 10.

Heres mine 3.5 lift 2 bl fwhp 44 and 9. 17x9 wheels with 5.5 backspacing 35 inch tires.

 

[PsYcHoBrOnCo]

Thanks Guy's, once again helpful as hell! Looks like 15x8 3.50 Back Spacing. Oh and Gummy, I'm still kicking around the idea of getting your tires..

for you guys running the 78 79 d44 with the cast wedges did you just leave them there?

 

[Tito]

I did and used long arms, no problems.
