I own a 90 jeep Cherokee 4.0 l! What's the best but cheap way for axles? I want heavy duty axles that still bolt right up! Any suggestions??

No such thing as a cheap bolt in. You can get aftermarket axles but they are way pricey. Only bolt in factory front axles are the D30 and Rubi D44/30 hybrid. As for rears stock width you have stock XJ axles. The 70s Ford 9" and D60 will bolt in with bigger u bolts and spring plates, stock perches are less than 1/2" wider. These are full width and you'd need a matching front.

Bolt-IN = Currie, Dynatrack ect...... Which are $$$$$
Get some Truss, and Sleeve the D30 , Regear, Full Case locker, Get HD control arm Mounts, Reid Racing D44 Knuckle conversion, Highsteer, Chromoly Shafts IT'll be a Killer D30 !
Get a 8.25 or D44, Truss them Chromoly axles, Regear with a full case locker
It's not cheap to build a Strong Axle
