Eaton Rear width ?

Does any one know if I can swap the eaton DRW hubs on to my single rear wheels to get a wider WMS like you can on the 14blt axles ? Stock is 65 and I want to run stock H1 wheels so Im trying to get a wider rear axle with out running wheel spacers.

Re: Eaton Rear width ?

I forget at the moment what if any gains you will see doing that, but there is a van width Eaton just like the 14 bolts. I am going from memory, but I believe it is around 70" wide. The only downside is that it uses unique axleshafts, also just like the van 14 bolt.
