full width dana 44 in BII

[supersamikc]

I know there are probably a lot of threads with the questions that i am going to ask but i can't find them. I am going to be swapping in a 9 inch and 44 into my b2 from a 79 f150, i want to keep it coiled and want to see how some people have done their coils so they do not bow in since the axle perches are wider than the coil buckets. any information would help. Thanks, Kaleb.

You will have to move your coil buckets in on the axle.

ive seen one reciently that had the coils moved out basicly with 2" blocks on each side i think. they also used the f150 buckets but braced them on top and made a shock mount off the brace too

Moving the mounts on a 79 axle can be a pain. I spaced my buckets out 2" on either side with 2x4 rectangle tubing.
