well first off i had to do some axle searching and i found a set of axels on a local jeep club a ford 8.8 rear end with chromoly axle shafts 4.56 gears n detroit tru trac locker also a dana 30 with bigger axle shafts w/ 704 ujoints 4.56 gears detroit locker M.O.R.E OTK steering setup with OTA trac bar.. picked up for 300 i was very suprised got home cracked the case and the 8.8 was great and the 30 was another story the ring gear is missing bout half the teeth lol but owell thats an easy fix be posting more pics soon

I may be having a retard moment but what is that bar in the front that is hanging really low? The one in front of and below the tie rod? Looks funny

yes 300 for both the guy bought them from a buddy and was gonna get into jeepn but decided to sell his and really didnt know what he had but he is the one that told the price and i asked no questions lol. and ill be running 6" RE coils with bastard pack RC shackle and shackle relocation along with a RC long arm upgrade.

yes its the sway bar i bought the jeep how it sets with full interior for 200 the guy took all drivetrain including the front axle out so we just put a 2wd axle in there to put it on trailer and bring it home. so nothing is bolted up lol
