Default Pricing and axle swap questions

How much is a reasonable price for a Full-Floating 14-bolt out of a CUCV with 4.56's and a detroit locker?

What are some good options for the front of my XJ? I plan on overbuilding my rig and then as time goes by make it bigger and bigger, without worrying about strength problems. I have been contemplating a D60, but their price is what is holding me back.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

you dont need that 14bolt for strength. 9 inch will do.

i have run a 14 bolt in a cherokee and drug it over everything!!

but if that axle is used...i would pay $500

new....maybe $800


but im cheap

i run a hp d 44 and 9 inch on 37's and only weak point is the u-joints. run ctms and you wont break em

Ive heard the 9" has clearance problems too. But I will look into it.

Anyone else?
