Thanks for all the info guys. That helps out a lot. First, yes, it is a 8 lug axle. I was going to do a 6 lug conversion to the front and run the same pattern, but after thinking about it, I may just run 8 lug front and 6 lug rear until I can get a 60 built and put under there, and carry 2 different spares. I didnt realize 60 could be had for so little.
As for the shortning. I was going to get it cut down to a track width of 63inches(shakerbuilt), which is the same size as the 2 gen broncos, so shafts could be had easily. I would really rather fun full width though. So for now i think i am going to run the full width 44 and stock yota till i can scrap some more cash for a 60 out back. It may look goofy but As my good friend turner says "it isnt pretty that gets you over the rocks" thanks again for your help.
