If im gonna use the 10b and it is already really wide and i gotta narrow it, i thought about getting the tape measure and crayons out.
When i come up with a good width, im gonna figure out what it will take and if i have enough room to chop the axle tubes and move the Pumpkin to the driver side or close as possible. And i can get a good deal on Moser Custom Length Axles, so that leaves me with getting some good u joints since they offer some stronger than the factory size.

IF you can find me a D44 out of a Wagoneer that would be awesome, but Since im goona use the NP243, it has a Driver side front drop so that kinda rules out all the passenger side diffs..

Have you thought about running a d300 t-case??? Its factory pass drop but with a flip kit can be driver drop..Its gear driven and has a yoke on the tail shaft already...
The problem i for see in custom shafts is the cost and down time if one breaks..

Sorry coped this but yeah lol.... ITs a good case and alot of guys guy them..There's 4 to 1 kits,flip kits,adapters for just about anything..It can be setup as a twin stick to do front digs also
The Dana 300 is a heavy duty gear driven transfer case that takes a 23 spline input shaft. The case is cast iron with a number C300-15 and the tail housing is aluminum. The output for the front driveshaft on the Dana 300 is on the passenger side and the rear output is centered. Low range is 2.62:1 and high is 1.00:1.
The bolt pattern is the same as many New Process transfer cases, but the drop is on the opposite side. Most New Process transfer cases used on Jeeps have the round bolt pattern and 23 spline input so it is compatible to some extent. The difference is all the New Process transfer cases are drivers drop and the Dana 300 is passenger drop. Some drilling and or tapping may be necessary may be necessary in the transfer case or the adapter to "clock" the transfer case. One bolt hole in the pattern is offset to allow the transfer cases to only be bolted on one way. The other option is to not use the bolt that clocks the transfer case.
One way people modify the Dana 300 is by adding oil paddles to the main shaft. The oil paddles prevent oil starvation of the rear bearing when flat towing. Another possible modification to the Dana 300 is converting it to u-bolt yokes rather than strap yokes.
Usage
The Dana 300 was used only in CJs from 1980 until 1986. The first year the Dana 300 was available there was a slight difference from transfercases used in '81-'86 CJs. The 1980 Dana 300 features a shorter tail housing which allows a slightly longer rear driveshaft.
