Alrights guys, sorry if this is the wrong area its kind of an odd question.
Some of you might have seen my for sale post, my 99 Cherokee XJ was totaled and im parting it out. It has a RC 6.5" LA kit that im swapping to my new XJ i just bought. When in stalling a LA you have to cut off the short arm kit. So when i remove my LA kit from my totaled jeep it will have nothing to hold the axle in place. Also when i part out the rear end there will be no axle or springs to hold it up either.
I know i can obviously stick it on cinder blocks but then i wont be able to move it and it looks like crap. My main concerns is that when someone buys the motor and driveline/shell of the car (because im going to sell it as one piece) how are they going to be able to load the jeep onto their trailer or onto the tow truck if the Jeep is on cinder blocks.
Any ideas, suggestions, or experiences would be greatly appreciated. I am stumped!
Thanks
Will

Go to Harbor Freight and get a couple appliance dollies for about 50 bucks, just sit the shell on them and you can roll it around if you need to.

I am thinking 4 x dollys for each corner with two cinder blocks on each to help disperse the weight.

don't worry about the flatbed towtruck. he can just hook a v-chain to the carcass and just drag it on the bed. (hopefully it's a steel bed).
then the wrecker can just pick it off the bed with the fork lift, or just chain it to something and drag the truck out from under it. with the bed tilted of course.
i've had to do this many times.
good call on the appliance dollies. or even shop dollies would work good too, and may have larger casters.
