currie and other custom built axle assemblies suck. My buddy runs a currie 9" front and a rock jock 60 rear in his XJ. nothing but problems with them leaking (they are not that old) and currie won't do much about it.
I'd much rather build a set of axles myself and know that i did the work right while saving money. there is nothing hillbilly about building a 60/60 or 60/14b combo yourself, as long as you do it right. i encourage you to venture over to the pirate4x4 Cherokee section

And I know a couple guys that use them. No complaints. No personal experience. I like the size of them ,and the clearance.

I think the point he was trying to make is the stock 4.0 don't make enough power to turn a 40 on 1 tons fast enough.And most of the KOH rigs i seen used some kinda v8 for power.

Actually they are pretty close to a golf cart. LOL
A good build with 37’s is hard to beat. Much lighter rig, more power to weight. Goes about anywhere.
From what I have seen 40's and up with big axles are not that impressive.

I gotta agree with caveman on this. I really hate the "gonna slap a pair of full width 1 tons under my rig this weekend and go wheel" builds. it takes a lot of work. and here in CA making your rig full width 70" wide is a great way to make the narrow trails a lot more frustrating than they ever needed to be. just run 35's and built stock axles. you'll do fine if you know how to drive worth a ****

There's a hillbilly way to do it, and a right way. Slapping axles under something with stock gears, hacked mounts, and 30 year old calipers is dumb. The right way is expensive, time consuming, and worth the effort. My jeep drives way better than many lifted jeeps... I was laughing to myself behind a JK last night listening to the thing clunk over a rough road and my XJ was silent except for that damn rear seat squeak.
