A set of Waggy 44's would live just fine with that combo. The other option would be to cut a HP44 down from a 73-76 F-150 (yes, other years had one but those ones have welded wedges vice cast and are easier to work with).  You cut the passenger side down to EB Bronco length. Cost and installation ease considered, just run some Waggy 44's.

Is your CJ passenger or driver side drop?  If its passenger you'll have to flip the 300 for those axles.

Flex:
Due to the droop problem alot of ppl also run scout 44's so the drop is on the correct side.

it's a passenger drop

i've heard this before. i seen a set for sale but he wanted 1500 for them. they were exactly what i wanted with 4.56 gears and i think they were locked but i didn't have that kinda money sitting around. they had already been shortened for a cj7 also.

going to get a brake booster and master cylinder off of a cj7 this weekend for $50. also found a dana 30 with disc brakes for $75.

also here is my thread on GL4x4 it's pretty funny listening to these guys argue back and forth on whats better.
