I measured the front leafs on the newer axles and they are a 1/2" narrower than the original leafs. Can I move each side out a 1/4" and be OK? I have the measurements at the shop. If I remember I'll post what they are so you guys can point me in the right direction. Its a damn shame that the original axles are drums, I looked at them today and realized that the hubs are huge compared to the 86's hubs! Dana 44's. BIG difference.
