Ok, I have a D-44 out of a 1979 Bronco that I parted out. I'm SASing my Bronco II and want to run E.B. width at any costs. I DO NOT want to run fullwidth. I know it makes for better stability and for better wheelin but I don't like how it looks.

So, on to my question. How could I go abouts cutting down this FW axle into EB width. I like this one because it has disk brakes and well I have it...lol I know I need axle shafts (I sold em so I need em anyways) but other than that I'm kinda clueless.

What are the measurements that I have to cut out of each tube?

Yep, exactly 6" out of the pass. side.
 
Im getting ready to narrow a axle too and I was just wondering wouldnt you have to cut equal lengths off each side of the axle?
 
knock 6"off the passenger side and you can use an EB long side inner for your passenger side shaft.
 
I get that but if you take 6" off the passenger side wouldnt the wheel on the driver side stick out further than than the passenger side?
 
No, because you move the spring perch/coil bucket to the proper location to center the axle

Lol, you locate the axle wherever you want, you're the one doing the swap.

Here's mine. Narrowed Fullsize '79 HP44.

I was just thinkin if you move your perches and radius arms to center the axle up then the differential wouldnt line up properly with the transfer case. Maybe im just looking at it totally wrong.
 
Keep in mind with the right offset in rims, a full width axle can be made to appear only slightly wider then an EB axle. If you plan on running wider rims (10"), a fullwidth axle running rims with more backspacing will create less stress on bearings and balljoints then a narrower axle with offset rims.....
