Quote: 56" is a little narrow for a YJ frame. It would be perfect in a CJ7 frame, but he won't get full turn in his Jeep.
Yep, didn't think about it being a YJ, the 86 and up axles are 60, which is YJ I think, no solid front though, one would have to space a mini truck axles. All just discussion at this point anyway he is well on his way with the 44s. I bought all the new parts to build a high pinion and picked up a 4.56 cyl chunk for the rear last week. Also got a high steer set up using one ton stuff. Pulled the T-4 to make way for the 435 today. Well on the way. I would replace that frame if it were me, but if you are gonna build it do a fully articulating 4 link or something exotic.
