is it set to a certain width? i could go to 62" and use factory shafts still, yeah doesnt matter to me as this is a long term thing not really in a hurry for it but i would like it to have a 29" spring spacing

so i traded chrispy my factory housing for one that had 4"s cut off the long side i ground it down and got the tube out of the inner c, i got it out and got the inner c back on that side i cut the weld and knocked the short side inner c off before it got too late

also picked up a set of jk44 gears from lance 8) ive got my 30 spline lockouts a 3.73 carrier will be ordering up a jana 44 kit to put the JK gears in a normal housing will probably end up going with rcv shafts because of lees issues and i just dont know if any ujoint will survive even ctms
