xj seth, 39.5's are hard to fit!!!!! i know cause i had to take mine off and put on 37's. im sitting at 104'' wb with explorer leafs in the rear and love the wheelbase.
i have a triangulated four link i got off a guy on colo4x4 just been to happy with the stability of the leaf set up.
if you want some links for cheap and all the measurments for building your brkts hit me up!! i dont think im gonna use it and would rather see it go under someones jeep instead of sitting on my shelf in the garage!!
pm me

to answer your question on colo4x4 im looking for a 23 spline 231
i have had 242s in most my jeeps with no probs..is the front outputshaft on a 231 prone to having problems with big lifts?

60 is making its way to my place hopefully this Saturday. i will be using everything in the axle but the gears i will be changing over to some 5.13s or maybe lower with a detroit. fyi this axle is huge! i can barely lift it 3 inches off the ground with only stock tractor style tires on it for now.
