I have a 98 Grand Cherokee, Light offroad uses mostly, but I do run on trails, and after I swap axles and put a lift and rock guards on i'll be doing a lot more.

Plans are for a 6" Lift, 33x11.5 or 13.5 depending on if I go with a 16" or a 15" rim respectively Maybe 14.5 if I end up with a wider axle than I have in now.

I'm switching up to a Dana 44 front end, nothing crazy but finding one with close to the same spacing as what i have now is near impossible. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a Dana 44 with the same spacing or with similar spacing so I can change front and rears both over, depending on how close I can get them to factory will determine how wide I go with tires, so if you have a suggestion of a wider axle i'm open to the ideas

Old IH Scouts had D44's front and rear. The early ones were pretty narrow too. Old Jeep full sized Cherokees and Wangoneers had a narrower axle than full sized Jeep P/U's and Cherokee Chiefs and they all used D44's front and rear too.
