waggy 44

[cannonball]

anyone got a waggy 44 housing laying around? I'm starting to look around for one to build. May be interested in parts for it too. post up what you got.

I'm located in Clemson, but go back to Columbia at least once every 6 weeks.

I think the j10s are wider than waggys

 

[LBarr2002]

I've heard that J10's are the same width as the 'wide trac' axles, but I think they are wider.

 

[cannonball]

Aren't the wide track axles like 64 WMS to WMS? And the waggy I'm lookin for like 60?

Waggy is 61.5, widetrac/j truck are ~64". I would personally run the wide trac, gives you more link mounting, shock, spring, coilover mounting options without rubbing.

Problem with that is I gotta run some big *** spacers on the 8.8 for it to match.

Or switch to a full width 8.8 from a f150.

C clip eliminator and small spacers maybe?

This. F150 8.8 is ~65. Better off having the rear a little narrower rather than wider.

 

[cannonball]

i ain't trying to switch out my 8.8 already, really not in the mood to build another truss and gear it. so i'll probably just go for the waggy.

When did ford make a f160? :

spacers up front would solve that issue. But it would all be a lot of trouble when he could just get a waggy 44. Finding them and shafts for them are more common from what i see.

Yeah I'd just stick with the waggy axle. Thats alot less money to be spent, and I know how tough it was to build a Jeep while in school.

[Steve97tj]

Was the front already geared when you got it? I have a 4.88 ring gear that is perfectly fine you can have, but i think you run 4.56s maybe...

 

[Shilohsho]

What were you doing when it broke?

 

[cannonball]

Yeah I got 456 and I really wasn't doing anything just wheeling. Never got on it the whole weekend
