Does anyone know the track width on a stock TTB from pivot to hub? :6:

Edit: dana 44 (driver side and passenger side)

Are you asking for lengths for each arm ? thats Kinda how you drew it.. :6:

Mine have been cut & turned ...But not widened if you'd like I could measure it for you... :shrug:

Thanks Blanco. I was looking at the front end and noticed one tire seems to be sticking further out from outside of the fender than the other, almost a good inch or so. :verymad: It could be the illusion of the flared fender being unequall or the housing themselves. Before I spend money on some custom lengthened axles I want to be sure each side is widened equally.

:6: Ummm... so you want me to measure mine then???

Funny though I noticed that on my Sammy. :shrug:

Ya that should work. Better yet to eliminate the cut and turn in your measurement, if you could measure from pivot bolt to centerline of the top ball ball joint.

The beams themselves should not be the same length,but should still stick outside the wheelwells an equal amount.There isnt any equal length TTB setups that ive ever heard of.
For example if someone cut and extended your beams exactly 3 " on each beam,one would stick farther out the wheel well.Seeing as your beams where extended by Camburg im sure they were done right.
Maybe its the appearance of the beams that throw you off.I can also say my my 'glass on my F-150 is a little wider on one side.Not by much maybe a half inch.I would measure from your frame to the outside of your tire,or even better take the tire off and measure from the frame to the rotor,this number should be the same on both sides.Hope that helps a little.

OK I only mesured the drivers side because I had to lay in the street & all the oil Blancos leaks all over & I was by myself ..
In other words it was'nt fun..
Measured from the bolt mounting the diff beam to the lip just to the left of your red line in this pic.

Right at the downward curve is where I hooked the measure ment tape
& it came out to 36 & 1/2 inches..

I hope this helps some..
