Full Width front D44

[Geiri]

I am installing a Full width Dana 44 from a 1978/9 Ford Bronco.

Can I use the 66/77 radius arms or do I need the Bronco arms?

Also can I use the stock wedge location on the 78/9 D44 or do I have to move them inwards?
They are casted on . I have the Duffs Full Width Offset Coil Buckets.

The 66/77 and 78/79 arms are the same.

Most people move the wedges, but I don't think you HAVE to. I've never done a full width swap, so can't answer this one with 100% certainty. If you don't relocate them it's going to make for some pretty odd geometry considering the extra width is almost all in the passenger side.

If you don’t move them the Geometry is fine, they move out equally on both sides. The steering and track bar geometry improve as well. Unless you move the spring buckets on the frame out or move the lower in 2” per side the springs get very S shaped. They still work, just looks odd. Me doing it, no way I’d move them in

Moving the cast wedges doesn't work. Just bolt it in and go. Duffs has coil buckets that compensate it you want them.
