flange to flange on the 3rd gen is a little over 56"

4th gen is 59"

I have a 4th gen 10 bolt FS if you are interested

According to the dimension drawing on the Strange website:

Hub flange face to hub flange face:

3rd Gen: 61.72"
4th Gen: 64.72"

End of axle housing:

3rd Gen: 56.24"
4th Gen: 59.04"

www.strangeengineering.net/catalog/65.html

That's for their 12-bolt, but the dimensions replicate the 10-bolt.
