im putting a hp dana 44 into my tj soon and was planning on buying one outa a 78/79 f250. what kinda options do i have to change the bolt pattern, and im guessing pretty much all 78/79 f250 axles are pretty much the same?ill be narrowing this also.
 
it depends on what you want to go with... factory they will probly be 8 lug outta f250, and if u dont want that, you could do 5on5.5, 6on5.5, and even 5on4.5 if u want (alot harder though)
 
5 on 5.5 is off a 1/2 ton ford. straight bolt on swap.
and i can probably set you up with an even trade as long as your stuff is in good working condition.
 
its really a mess to do it... requires hubs/rotors, outer shafts, and other parts from that outer assembly from a 75-79 dodge 1/2 ton pickup...

that or you could probly get a ford or chevy hub redrilled to the pattern or maybe even find an aftermarket hub
 
if you are wanting 5on5.5, its just as easy either way, esp if you need to replace the brakes anyways.... you can always find someone to swap your 8 lug stuff for 5 lug stuff, mike might even be a good candidate... so its your call
