Im looking to put full width axles on my XJ and 37s what axles will hold up to abuse and what gearing do I need? I have a 4.7 stroker being built and I have an AW4 trans.

 

just whatever full width axles huh? lets start with a ballpark budget

are you going for speed? or rock crawling?

 

lol yea seriously. you can get fullwidth axles that are the same strength as stock axles.

 

Unless it's a street only vehicle with 37s I'd say tons. I went the 3/4 route due to cost and have regretted it ever since. Especially when I'm limping back to my trailer on broken shafts. Skip the D60 rear with 30 spline shafts as well, they are exactly the same size as a D44.

 

Ford HP D60 up front
Shaved 14 blt (Full Float only!!) out back.

 

IMO if you have to ask, You are not ready for the modifications !

 

Ball joint 60 front & Sterling rear (out of the later model F-250's & 350's)seems viable.

Cheaper then the old school 60's.

 

why don't you be a little more helpful and school us all on tons then, since you must know everything about full width axles...

 

Because it's the truth

 

Yes Im not ready for the mod yet. But then again I wouldnt be asking if I was ready.

 

Im building the Jeep for rock crawling and mild speed. Id like to keep the budget as cheap as possible but at the same time Im willing to spend up to 5000 to get the Jeep bomb proof lol.

 

Damn thanks for the info you just saved me some money there. Was looking at a D60 on craigslist this morning.

 

Shaved 14 bolt? And how can I tell if its a full floater? Also what vehicles can I ****** it out of?

 

SF vs FF

FF will have a flange on the end with bolts.

 

Oh ok cool. What truck should I look to ****** that out of?
