I forgot to add on the JK locker. You are pretty much limited to JK gears. The ring gear for a JK uses a half inch ring gear bolt. The regular 44 uses a 3/8 ring gear bolt. You can go to JK gears, but not the other way

 

What did you put in your 44?

 

Detroit Super Dana 44 locker (33 spline), Mosier 33 spline axles and JK gears.

 

1350 joints?

 

Yup, I already have a Tom Woods drive shaft with 1350s

 

Nice must be a warm and fuzzy feeling seeing 1350s inside the front axle

 

Whoops, sorry about that. I thought you meant driveshaft U joints. Ordering RCVs soon for the front axle. Even more fuzzy in the tight turns

 

you said

best axle swap - spidertrax housings with gearworx diffs

Can you explain this in detail to me lol i am looking at there sites and totally confused on what to buy etc


Thanks bud

 

Post is several years old. Especially the comment you are referring to.
But anyway, this was not really a serious answer to the best axle swap for XJ. These are the best axles period. But housing are 5000$ each and 3rd members are another 5000+ each. If you dont know what to buy, you should not be in the market for 20,000$+ in axles for a jeep Cherokee

 

Lol dude the way you said it to me it sounded cheap ya am new to the jeep game just doing some research but hey thanks for reply lol

 

The best axles to swap in is contingent on what your plans are for the jeep. For 33s and moderate trail use - can't beat a beefed up D30 and an 8.8 out of an Explorer. I'm into both of my axles for less than $1000.

You want the best axle that will handle ANYTHING, then get a D60 and Sterling 10.5 out of a 05+ Super Duty. You'll be closer to $10,000 (axles, parts, and associated parts), but they should handle anything you throw at them.
