It says they work for any length from narrow 24.5" Jeep axles up to 32" wide, and I believe ours measure 30.5" according to one comment I read? Please confirm before ordering but I believe ours definitely should fit within this range. Our trucks have fairly narrow wms-wms width axles (wheel mounting surface).
The only thing I'm uncertain on is the center register diameter. This is very easy to turn down in a lathe or make or buy a bushing/adapter for though.
Chromoly 30-spline Dana 44 5 lug on 5" axles for less than $200 each... Wow ��
The only other thing I haven't 100% confirmed is the stock being 30 spline. I read a few mentions of 19 spline, others saying 63-68 were 30 spline, perhaps meaning 60-62 were 19 spline?
If running a Nitro Helix 30 spline limited slip, this makes no difference at all regardless.
