Hey guys got a few quick questions, The axles are from a 79 so the radius arm mounts on the axles are not movable as they are part of the axle does this matter? or can I build my mounts to mount under the frame like stockers or do I need to bump them outside the frame rails? also do I need a new yoke for the axles to use my stock driveshafts or can I use a con version u-joint? thanks guys as always
 
You'll probably need to move the mounts outward a bit, but check. There might be enough flex in the C-bushings that you won't need to go quite as wide as the axle was originally.

Conversion u-joints are available to fit the stock driveshaft to the D44 yoke. 1310 D44 yokes can be had as well though (if you have the axle apart for any reason, I'd just throw a 1310 yoke on it). Pretty sure the same can be had for the 9 as well.
