But you say your "newly found" 44. So what did it come out of if you already have it???

If it came out of a Waggy, it will need to be sprung over and you will need a set of flat top knuckles if you want to run high steer, which you do.

<soapbox>

Not to jump on you or anything, but this information is literally ALL OVER the internet. If you don't know this simple stuff and you have already started in on your SAS you might have bigger fish to fry.

I mean your posts look like you don't have a clue on, well, anything. I mean if you have the axle and you can't look at it and tell what needs to be done I hope you'll excuse me if I question your ability to take on a project of this magnitude.

I seriously think you might need to sit down and figure out what every step of this project will require and firgure out wether or not this is something that you know about and can do safely.

Solid axle swaps are not to be attempted by Joe Schmoe. If that junk breaks on the road, you could kill yourself. Not to mention you can't just go back once you've started. I see a lot of people posting simple questions about this stuff and that scares me. If you don't have the basics, how can you expect to do this right?

</soapbox>

With that said, feel free to PM me with any questions you have. Despite what it may look like my interest is not in chastizing you but in helping you to get this 100% right...
