Subbed. I am in the middle of dropping a built 350 in my 96' XJ. I figured the drive shafts and axles would be the next things I tear up and looking at putting 1 tons under it so I am interested in seeing how yours turns out.

I got a big pile of parts from ruffstufff today. These brackets are bad ***, they go together like Legos, and are super beefy. The 2x4 tube clevis tabs are cool. There's tons of weld area on them, and they fit up perfect. The axle tabs will have to be notched a little bigger for the huge 14 bolt tubes, and I'm gonna notch the lower frame bracket to 2 inch to fit one of the scrap pieces I'm gonna have from building my links. Oh yea, these heims are enormous.
