all the waggy 44's are offset 6 or so inches.


That should say all the '74-79 Waggy 44's are offset. Starting in 1980 the rear axles are centered as the gas tank was redesigned. The only thing is they started using AMC 20 rear axles until mid-86. These are much stronger than CJ AMC 20s though with thicker axle tubes and one piece axleshafts.

In mid-86 they ran out of AMC 20's and started using the 44 again through '91 when the Waggie went away. These 44's are centered.
