    I recently bought a housing for the offset 1971 CJ5 D44, no axle shafts.
    Can anyone help me out with the dimensions I'd need to send to Dutchman to get new ones? Every time I do a search I get the 2 piece tapered axles shafts for 1971 and I really don't want to order the ill-fitting parts.

    What dimensions do you need? I have my flanged axles stored in the garage because I put a full float kit in the rear, so I have easy access to them.

    Thank you for this! Do you think my problem in the search is looking for a '71? Dutchman has it listed as 69-70, but I always thought it was 70.5-71.

    Their chart looks a little off in reference to model year. I think what Velopa wants is what Dutchman lists as 69-70. I think I have a set of axles out of a housing somewhere. If no one else confirms the measurements, I should be able to by the end of the day.

    There must be tolerance on the length. The 69-70 looks the closest. My axles measure approximately 20 1/4 & 28 9/16. That is from the wheel mounting surface to the end of the shafts, in a straight line.

    I agree with the others that Dutchman has the years slightly off.
