Do a search in my SVT build thread, I narrowed a Dana 60 front. It will give you guidelines even though its a 60, its the same principle for a 44...

Ok so I haven't been Workin on my truck for awhile but the dana 44 I have has the wedges on the knuckle to so do I just take the knuckle off and cut 6 inches off or do I measure with the knuckle on.

If you have the cast wedges(wedges and inner C are one piece) then you would cut the weld at the wedge, knock the wedge/c off, cut 6", then reinstall the wedge/c. Fyi, instead of using an EB shaft (which has the weaker 260 joints) grab one from bronco graveyard (about $75) so you can use the stronger 760 joint, since that is the size of the rest of the shafts in your axle...
