Dana 44 front rebuild questions

[460 crew]

Center of hub to ground: 16.5" are you running 35's also
Center of hub to fender: 28.5 on the driver side and a full 29 on the passanger. Also I have 9in from the top of the spring pack between the u-bolts to the frame. I prob have a little more lift the 79 I took the springs off of that you have now had 1in longer hangers for the rear of the springs so I used those instead of my originals.

Wow what a project, glad you got it done. I wish I had seen your tie rod nut problem when this info would have helped. Here it is for future ref. If you have tapered ball joint type stud that just spins when removing the nut, force it back into the tapered hole w/ a jack or bar. Remove nut completly, then whack the the piece that stud goes through w/ a BMFH to shock it loose. The BFMH method is the best way lossen ball joint tie rod ends pitman, and idler arms. I will only resort to a pickle fork if the the parts are going to be replaced. I fact my pickle fork has has diff job these days it is great for checking air brake spring can travel
