Question on D44 RCV axle shafts

[berdeman]

Looking to upgrade to the RCV axle shafts. Anyone know if there is clearance issues with running chevy disk brack/knuckle coversion. WH website states the need for larger "ford" style knuckle. I swear I remeber a thread here with guys requesting orders with the chevy dick/knuckle, I can't find it to confirm. Anyone?

Thanks!!

One of my broncos has the gm conversion and the other a ford. Big difference in the size of the opening between the two. I seriously doubt the rcv shaft is going clear the stock ford knuckle with the GM conversion.

They will not fit thru the hole on a chevy conversion. you can remove the knuckle install the axle then reinstall the knuckle.
but it you are going to do that much work you might as well get ford disc conversion, that is what I did, you will need to trim down the lower ball joint to be flush with the nut and the top ball joint needs the grease fitting removed and a plug used.
