So.. The D44 TTB's length in reference to the driver side and passenger side are the same difference as the D35's. The only difference is the D44 is longer and the inner pivots are spread approx 2" further apart?

Did I word this right? :icon_confused:
Other way around the D44 Pivots are 1" closer to center of truck on each side opposed to the D35 pivots.

The 2.0 will get work to hell with the proper valving to cope with the ridiculous amount of un sprung weight you will have. Inertia is a real pain in the ass when it comes to proper dampening on this front ends. You do a lot of desert playing correct? You may want to look adapting 2.5" resis or going to a dual resi setup. :D
No desert running here. It's going to be a play toy that I won't be scared to beat on the backroads and once in a while take it slow through the technical rock trails.

Looking into another set of 2.0X12" Fox's.

But the length is in fact the same difference between both setups

IE

D35 D44
Pass- 1" Pass- 5"
Drive- 2" Drive-6"

Just an example.... :icon_rofl:

Awesome.. I like the BII.. Not many can say they built the entire truck including body panels..

If you are measureing it from the outsides of the frames then it very well could be. But the frame spread between an F150/Bronco isn't the same as ranger/BroncoII

Don't do it. Break something on them out on the trail and your fuked. Save for coilovers. Or copy a good working coil setup.

Keep checking Dezertrangers. there are always some there and for a decent price too. I bought shocks already and new coils, otherwise I would go coilovers myself. I just want to make it work with old school coils, just to show how 20" travel IS possible.
