ur way better off gettin this kit than tryin to make the stock xj suspension work on a D60.

 

we are not using anything off the old axles went to the steel shop today and got the right stuff to do the job but this is gone b a mud truck soon so wan a do it cheep but want it to work goo also so tell me all the advise u can tell me I've never done anything with a jeep before only dodge trucks and ford with leaf springs no coils

 

its a 1997 that was a miss type!

 

Okie dokie. I'm about to go to lunch. I'll give you all the advice you'll ever want when i get back.

Tho, something to ponder.

Why should a mud truck be built with less quality than a Competition rock crawler?



I was curious about the year. I can't believe some other of your fellow CF member's sharp eyes didn't catch that.

 

Full hydro steering! There's no way the stock box will move those 40s or even 38s on nice loose gravel let alone mud. Your to do list should be: 5.38 gears, f/r lockers, full hydro, long armed 3 link front, plate the entire frame, & bead locks to start. There's nothing cheap about 40 inch tires!

 

^^x2, you cant just slap a D60 and 40s on and call it a day without doin major reinforcing and upgrading

 

Ya its a dana 44 front and its got a locker the guy said with a broken axle but like a said in a few post back that im prob gona just get 38.5 cus i found a good deal on some super swampers but we all build trucks the same way im building this for our buggys and never had any trouble so we shall see how it goes

 

ok Just trying to help... a D44 isnt gonna hold up well to 38.5s, unless your cromoing it outter to outter, & even then say bye bye to your R&P!

Are you planning on plating the hell outta your frame???

 

Ok, so now It's 38.5s on a 44.

Dana 44's use the same u-joints as a Dana 30. In that aspect it's not much of an upgrade.

I run a 44 on 35s. Even with the 35s I broke u-joints regularly. Now, I run chromo inners and outers with CTMs and a full case locker. I have yet to break that combo.

So, are you running coilovers or coils?

 

Ill post a pic of my old jeep that was on 38.5 groundhawgs and it was stock everything with a home made lift and i went to 5 mud fest with that jeep before i got ride of it and never broke anything on it

 

Im gona use my rough country coils
