well obvioulsy but i jus dont kno the true strength of these shafts working with the axles. What do u think one step higher would be then new shafts? I would like to get ethier toyota axles or dana 44s but dont kno if they would work with the 4.3 and transfer case mainly because i dont know what transfer case would work the best and if the sammys could hold up to the power. But basically i would really like to use dana 44s uncut or toyota axles. But where i get confused is that the toyota axles i think the rear is off centered and the dana 44s are centered so thats where i get confused then also there is that issue of brakes! haha i guess the spidertrax axles would work the best but i dont want to spend that amount of money!
The Dana 44 used in late 70/80 Cherokees with a Quadratrac 4wd system are offset to passenger side just like the Sami. Those would work best for your situation. Some of these even had flat top knuckles - meaning that you could easily run hi-steer on them. The hubs will be full-time but that's a simple swap out for manual locking hubs. The WMS is 62-63" so they are a little bit wider than the stock Samis, but you'll need to get different wheels anyways, 6 lug required, so get appropriate bs. Since the D44 would be low pinion, the gear ratio goes up to 5.89s!!! The quadratrac in the CJs would have a D30 up front and a AMC 20 offset 2-pc rear axle.
FYI, I have listed a set of these plus another front in the sale section. I'm in KC, KS.
