What tires and kind of wheeling do you do? We need to know so we can tell what you should need.

right now i have 39" i will be going down to 37's soon i go in water hills rocks little mud holes i do everything i drive it every day to i do a little of everything whatever comes my way it i have those rusty coils they dont flex to much so it is more of a trail truck the odd rock hill and mud hole

i dont want to cut the axles down and get axles made i just want to put under weld them up and go. i mean how much wider are they (dana 60 i asume from i dont kno) then the original axles?

Irongrave

60s are full width can range from 65-79 inches WMS to WMS dodge's are the narrowest chevys are pass side drop and fords are the most common. i'd do a 60 front 9in rear out of a 70 era F250 or 350 if you can find one. the front axle is going to run you anywhere from 200-600 depending on condition

so the dodge is the narrowest and the shaft is driver side? my buddie just told me he has some power wagons he dose not know what axles they have. slant 6 in them ? if not a 9 inch whats with the dana 60 rear and is that in the same dodge truck?

so what are those coils from? there huge. where do the 2.5 ton axles come out of and are they skinnier

Rockwells weigh a **** ton. You would have to reinforce the whole unibody. I think its overkill for an xj.
