I would stay away from the LQ4 and chevy drivetrain unless your going to reinforce the ***** out of the inibody...All your gonna do is stretch the frame and create undo stress from the HP and torque....all u neee is a good gear setup and it'll go wherever u point it..

U happy with that 300? I find 60's all day from Chevy's and there cheap... Fords are high... and hard to find... plus I think the 300's stronger and of course can be twin sticked... haven't really looked into the swap much... think ill be doing the triangulated 4 link up front as well when I'm ready... gonna need hydro steering for these 37's... probly just leave the rear as leafs... I dunno...

Yeah, the 300 is the closest thing you'll get to an Atlas, and its a strong TC....I wouldwould 4 link the rear before the front, 1st cause its easier and
2cd, because there are lots of clearence issues and no good place for the crossmember that the uppers need to attach to...Put a Rusty's long arm kit up front and call it done, simple, and easy to install....Make sure if you get a front 60 that you get one with the king pin, get rid of any balljoint type..They are much stronger....The other thing to look for is to get a high pinion 60 wich only comes drivers side drop and retube it to acomodate the 300 w/o doing a 300 flip....

This d60 I'm suppose to pic up this weekend is beef too... I don't need kingpins cause I'm not running monster tires... 37's is the plan... from what I've read balljoint axle will be plenty strong enough... also the hubs on the 05+ are said to be strong as crap compared to any other... 9.75 ring gear... 1.5in shafts and 35 spline... also its a radius arm setup... from what I've seen the arms are made of 3x2 looking square tube so it may be easier to splice into them and built my arms... I've seen it on acouple other rigs now... like they did with the 78-79 arms on the d44's... 4 linking the rear looks easy to me... may happen before to long... we will see! For now though it'll be springs as getting the front end built with gears and under the Jeep are priority so I can keep it on the trails and get these tires under it asap... there's a Guy on gatr with 37's and a 2" BB... lol

got it... has control arms and steering and all... was heavy as crap to put in the back of my truck though... i recommend a trailer instead to anyone... lol... $250 well spent! got my 9in rear disc brakes as well... now i think im just gonna go ahead and order some moser axles custom made for the 9in with 8x170 bolt pattern and stronger of course... and two H1 re-centers so i can at least get the rear end in and have it a true 2 wheel drive till i get this D60 built...
