Waggy's are narrower than the f150 axles. F150= 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern, f250= 8 bolt pattern. Both ford axles are the same width only difference is one is 1/2 ton other is 3/4 ton.I think the waggy axles, please correct me if I am wrong, are near 67" wide.

If your sas'ing it then because of the hihger center of gravity, you want a wider stance for greater stability.. That is why I am going ford. I believe ford is 76-77" wide. Have it written somewhewre, just too lazy to look.
