first, just wondering y you think u need tons or rocs, tons i can see in a xj, but if ur guna go to a rocs, i would start lookin for a vehicle with an actual frame to start with. but like what other people said before, those are friggin expensive and over kill, and most of the time a good 3/4 link suspension paired with D44/60s and/or a ford 9" are perfect for most people, just sayin

Wish some of you were closer to me.. the leader of the 4x4 club im trying to join sent me an email... guy has 12 sets of Dana 60 front GM corp 14 bolt rear for 800 bucks a set... I am tempted to start taking mine up to the nxt level but as marc said, everything is so expensive once you look into it.

i must agree, there has been much duchebaggery going on around this site as of late.
if you want to go rockwells, think of some planetary axles as such by clark hurth. they are way easier to install in our frameless jeeps.
but as for ease of parts availability, go with ford, either ball joint or king pin, either/or. you won't abuse ball joint axles enough to rule them out.
the snowfighter 60 is a good choice too.
and a custom TMR 15 bolt (shaved 14) is a good choice for the rear.

people are only douches if you ask a dumb open ended question that has been asked a million times. the search tool works great, it sucks if you're doing it from a phone but if you are doing this type of research on your phone you really arent serious about it and dont deserve a good response anyway.
