General axle question

[triumphrider-1]

Does anyone know how much wider a full width Dana 44 is from the IFS on a 98-00 Ranger?

Thanks

I would prefer a high pinion open knuckle one with disk brakes.

Right now I'm just looking for dimensional differences betweeen the two (IFS and solid axle) so I can ponder.

the '70s model F-150 Dana 44 is roughly 5.5" wider than a Ranger's track stance...

Har har har...if the pipe had something I could of used as a reference for size, it would have been ok though.

Its 6 inches exactly. If you take off 6" from the passengers side you can use the early bronco axle shafts, or have the origonal one cut and resplined. to match.

Heres a couple really helpfull links.
