I am going to be using the hiems and going to try to salvage one of the beams for a trac bar.

Bones built some Tankerous (That's not a word, but oh well) RAs. If I remember right I seen the tracbar attached to your FW44 from the JY. Why not just cut it in the middle, take out what you don't need, then sleeve it & weld it up? :icon_idea:
Probably not as fancy as a new one, but probably a lot cheeper. Trust me, new adjustable one isn't cheap, it's still sitting in WCB2 like pennies in the bank, but it isn't drawing any interest!

You can get an EB tracbar from BG with new poly's for $50...Have you thought about narrowing the 44 to EB width?? I can help you with that if your interested...

I still need to do more research, but from what I have gathered 96 was the only one with a 5 bolt pattern.
Interesting. I was under the impression all the other spindles had a 6 bolt pattern. I am going to have to do more searching and maybe swap arou d some parts at the u-pull tomorrow.
To Clarify the Ford 44's are 5 bolt spindles, BUT the 92-96 FSB has the SMALLER 5 bolt pattern that will bolt straight to the ranger 35 knuckle, making the 44 outers a bolt on upgrade...

Thanks Rick, but as you can see I'm not going that route anymore lol.

And I'm not going to narrow it.

Picked up a few extras today though. Coils, bottom coil retainers, spare RAs, RA brackets, steering, and the trac bar mount. Wanted the coil buckets, but couldn't get them out.

I am hoping to start this weekend or Thurs, Fri which are my days off next week. Hoping to not take that long. I want to be able to drop your shaft off then.
