If you do it thick enough, its not bad to get off

I want to go but it's far for me. Sounds like it would have 4:10's. Check the diff tags. Any front driveshafts from V8 ZJ's?

It was a 2wd with a dana 35 so its not worth it for me to pull it. I'm gonna swap to an 8.25 or 8.8 when I go to 33s anyways.

I didnt look at the zj's there might have been. If i find one next time i go ill let you know.

Yeah but I drive 70 miles daily on I75 so I wanna keep all the power and mpg I can lol. I gotta do a tuneup and change all fluids here soon. I'm getting about 14 now all stock with 3" and 31s. Hopefully my exhaust and cowl intake will help some.

Exhaust helps some. I've got 2.5" after the downpipe with my cat and FM 40 to turndown. Cracked header. I was getting 14-16 in town on 30's

My spark plugs and wires are toast so thats prolly not helping. I'm waiting for payday to do new fluids (oil, trans, tcase, diffs, and coolant) and i switched to premium gas too so that should help a little.

Pics will come when my parts come in.
Looks great so far. How do you order from HANMA?

I know a guy that got a group buy for 20 of them. Came out to about 140 each after paypal shipping to him then to everyone else.

I think you can call them and order individually.
