    On a stock 1974 CJ5 the rim hole pattern is 5 holes on a 5-1/2 inch diameter bolt circle. Correct statement? I know this sounds like a silly question but I just want to be sure (measure twice, cut once principle).
    Thank you for your support.

    I think even YJ's had 5.5's (all Dana 44). Same bolt pattern as Dodge for several years IIRC

    I've never seen a YJ with a D44 stock either for that matter. ;)

    YJ's had 5 on 4.5, as did XJ, ZJ, TJ...

    IIRC there were or at least rumored to be some Canadian YJs that got the D44 rather than the D35.

    5 on 4.5 I knew it was a goofy size.
    The hot swap for awhile in the YJ crowd was the XJ D44.
    Now it seems to be the Ford 8.8.

    This is probably where I got that from... I recall someone telling me once they had 5.5 on their YJ. I know Nutzing about YJ's :D

    Warn at one time offered the full float in a 5 on 5.5 only, the front hub conversion was also a 5 on 5.5. ;)
