sick jeep dude. hardrock has changed a ton in the last few years haha. I used to go down there and stay to train for motocross. they did away with one of the tracks for jeep trails (at the time I wasn't in to jeep, so I was pissed haha). now I can't wait for the day I can go down there and take my jeep.

I know. I meant the ones you posted a while ago where you can see the track in the background.

I'm trying to find a ford front 44, with the 5x 5.5 bolt pattern.

Id like to get the weld on wedge version so I can 3 link it. But at this point ill settle and just run the cast version if I can find one, and just run some modified ford radius arms for a while.

Isn't that bolt pattern different for the 8.8 your running?

Ok gotcha thats what i was wondering about. What size lift springs and shocks are you running up front? and how will that carry over to the new axle?

4.5 rustys springs and 12" travel shocks up front.

It will go up a little with the 44, but I'm going to try my best to keep it close to that height . And if it does go up it should drop back down when the cage goes on.

What do you have to do with the driveling to make the 44 functional?

sweet 4 link set up been planning my build and gathering/ building parts(and ideas)for a while now.
SO did you have any problems with those links or heims? I wouldn't think so that's what the dragsters use and they're pushing alot of HP and taking alot more than just a little xj!!! Some people think they have all the answers ,But like they say opinions are like a-holes eveybody has one and no one wants to hear yours!!!
I've been rolling the Idea around in my head for running a rear 4 link and front long arm set up. Seeing yours gives me a few ideas,THANKS ,and keep up the good work.
