Asking an OLD question... Cage Arm install

[MyOriginal66]

I have read 10 1/2", 10 3/4", and 11" from stock radius bolt hole center to heim mount center. Now that these arms are as old as dirt, somebody pleeaaaassssse tell me the best way/place to locate them.

One thing to consider is what you want your wheel base to be at when you are done. Stock was 92" but when you put a lift on with stock arms it pulls the wheel base in. I put the duff arms on exactly like the instructions say but wish I would have moved the front diff forward one inch. You can always unscrew the hemi but it is something to think about before you install.

Also measure exactly where your D44 is now in a few places so when you mock things up you will know if you have it where you want it.

My brother has a set on Tweety. He goes by Weevil on this forum. Maybe he will chime in.

LOL mount them at 10 3/4 and upgrage the joints to jonny joints or ballistic if you want to push the axle forward in the future
