better do more research before making that claim. Unless you get the axles for almost free you could throw dana60s in your truck for less.
And good luck finding JK axles for cheap, especially Rubi ones, which are the only ones you should even consider swapping.

They need as much bracket work as any other axle. Neither of them are bolt-in ready. The Speedo is taken from your Transfer case, so speedo "hook up" is irrelevant.

short list:
5" wider than XJ
front spring mounts need relocated as well as most everything else - only the control arm mounts are the same
rear needs shock and spring mounts
XJ steering will not work and needs custom drag link
so basically anything you would have to do to any other axle

no need to ever fear toasters whres. some nerdy clique in my h.s. actually worshipped them. we all laughed at the time but i'll tell you what, it must have worked because now they either make mad bank fixing the internets, live in austin, or look really good in ironic tee shirts.

Got a question, did a burn out and I was able to turn both tires, I know I don't have a locker or a LSD, is this bad?
