I have a Dana HP44 Front and a Dana 60 rear from a 1977-79 F250. I'm planning on putting them under my XJ this spring. I don't wanna have to norrow the axles though. Can I get rims to make my rig only 2 or 3 inchs wider with the big 8 bolt hubs? I may not use these rear ends if I need to norrow them. Also is there anything else I should know about other good axles that I wouldn't have to norrow? Thanks for the help!

That is going to be one wide-track XJ, theres nothing you could do short of narrowing them. Is your mind set on having the D-60? Sounds like overkill to me, my buddy has D-60's on his 454 powered land cruiser FJ-60.
If you wanna run them and want to be close to stock width without narrowing them, then you will have to run some 17" rims to swallow up the brakes. The folks on Naxja can help you but please search first.---Kyle

Well I'm not completely set on putting a 60 in the rear. I just have two of these axle right now. I'm getting Bushwacker cutouts soon but that wouldn't make up the different. I want to stay with 15" rims right now. I know there there is a 1977 f100 front axle and a ford 9" rear out of the same truck. Would they be a better swap for me?
Full size broncos are narrower than F-series trucks arent they? Or how abour axels from a full size cherokee, if i still had mine id get you a measurement on the bronc and FSJ. Watch out for the bronc tho some early 80's had IFS.
