Anyone have some brackets they made and didn't use, or took off that would fit 78 Ford Dana 44 with radius arms nubs to fit into a XJ?

Default Its been quiet

Where did everybody go ??? Its been so quiet for so long here. Wheres Ryan "built not bought" and rats i forgot his name but he and his son both had latter model white XJ's. I know Tom bought a Bronco awhile back.

Well i picked up a free 3" kit with coils and packs for my 98 (bone stock). Im getting new shocks and a t-case drop kit. I will be running 31's.

Do i need to get a trac bar relo kit ? And a steering stabilizer now ? or anything else to avoid any suspension/drive line damage ? Spent 2 hours reading through the lift section and couldnt find a difinitive answer (maybe there isnt on). Thanks in advance.

Sweet, what about the rears? You just have the simple axle swap kit?

I would not worry about that with only a 3" besides a longer stabilizer shock. I would undo the brake line holder from the body tho. 1 bolt on each side. Once you get around 4" and bigger that's where you need to add diff parts.

I have a D60 rear. Did you re do the leaf perches or did you get a simple axle swap kit to keep the axle under the jeep.

Do they line up normally? Or was it under a xj before you got it?
