Bette late then never to start a build thread. It set up decent right now. But am starting to make it bigger and stronger.
current set up:
35" procomps
15" soft 8's
Rustys long arm
6 1/2" RC coils
Custom rear leaf set up with extended shackle
Procomp exporer shocks with piggy backs
Slipyoke Eliminator
Ford 8.8 rear w/disk 4:10 gears
stock d30 w/4:10 gears.

It trails fine. But I want to lock it. And don't want to lock the front running 35's ..




Then I painted it.
how it sits now.

 

Scored some full width axles and sold my current axles

 

What axles did you go with?

 

D44 and 9.25 out of a 99 ram pickup

 

D44 all cleaned up just eating on the ballistic brackets

 

Got the rear axle under and new rim mounted. It looks to sit nice under the Jeep I'm loving it so far can't wait to do the front. Just not sure if I wanna sell my rustys long arm and do a custom 3 link..

 

Almost have the front finished. Having some issues with passenger tierod

 

Almost have the front finished. Having some issues with passenger tierod

 

Almost finished with my axle swap. Passenger tierod being stubborn. Threads got a little dinged so having to rethread them.

 

All done! Stretched the front a little.

 

Got any pics of your axle front mounts?
and maybe do inner sleeves on the front since it has the vacuum disco housing on it

 

Ill take some tomarrow. I used all the factory brakets off my d30 except the uper control arm braket.

 

Great looking jeep!

 

 

Testing out the new axles same rock as the first pics
