Vit rear 5.83 options
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2005 10:24 am
Well after much pondering and hunting I now have two solutions at the same time. The easy one is I have just found a new rear 5.83 R&P but it will cost more than the Calmini price as it is coming out of another country. I also have found a cheapish D44 out of a Scout II that I could put a 5.89 in. It has the same stud pattern, centered diff and the wms to wms is only 1" wider and I would end up with 1.31" 30 spline axles as well. But it will mean more fabbing to fit and shaving the diff for clearance and I will need to buy a new ARB locker as mine won't swap over. I was considering shaving my diff anyway and doing an axle rotation anyway so with selling my rear end complete it may make it not too much more $$$ to put the D44 in. Just the budget's going to take pounding in the short term.
