I have a guy locally offering to sell me a D44 out of an 78 Cherokee fullsize(??)
and was wondering if this was too wide or is it a good start?I know it has a drivers side drop,but am waiting for him to email me back about the WMS width measurement.Thanks in advance for any help!

I am not too sure, but I read somewhere on another forum that some Cherokee Full Sire Axle was too wide. Something like 65 WMS. I could be wrong.

GOT COPE?

Id stick w/ what we know works, and that would be a 1980 and up Jeep Wagoneer D44.

But let us know what the WMS turns out to be on this axle you're looking at. It may work.

Width is only a problem if you want the rear track to match.

Full width is great for stability.

Rican is right if it is in fact the Cherokee it will be 65" WMS.

Well the guy got back to me just a few minutes ago in an email and said the measurements were as follows:

WMS=61"
Spring to Spring=32"

So i guess i will take the 2 hour drive out and see for myself!
