Full width Vs. cut axles

[zuk88]

I just picked up a full width Dana 44 front from a 3/4 Chev and Ford 9" rear axle. I am going to put them under my Samurai and I am wondering what would be best full width or get the cut to fit around 4' wider than stock. I like doing the more difficult rock climbing and technical trails.

I would probably say cut on a Zuk. Hypothetically, if the wheelbase was stretched enough it probably wouldn't look as crazy running them full...

I was going to leave the wheel base the same for now. Any places around that cut tubes and size axles?

Where are you located?

lol, that would really make it look like a roller skate with full width axles.

I bet it would be a bitch to roll over, but the leaf spring mounts would really become a challenge for the front.

Get pics, I wanna see the end result.

Lake Stevens. I called Trail tough and they Recommended a place in Portland OR called Dutchmans. They also said 4" wider than stock would make it the same width as a Toy truck axle. I'm thinking on going that route.

cut them down to Early Bronco width and use off the shelf axles that everyone carries.
