FRONT END SWAP
im interested in swapping my stock front end for a dana 44.
but what are my options for a bolt on?
i looked into currie but after buying new knuckles and other misc parts the price got up to 6 grand(with an ox locker)
any suggestions?

If you can fabricate, you can make or buy the spring pads, and brackets you will need. The hardest one is the upper link on the pumpkin. But if you want one bad enough this will do the trick. Check with JKS and similar outfits for fab parts

LET ME KNOW........it will probably take me about 3 days to get, they are coming out of Milwaukee!!!
Now available exclusively from Mopar Performance-Jeep Wrangler Rubicon front and rear axle assemblies. These assemblies will provide the next level of off-road performance for your CJ,YJ, or TJ. The axles are shipped with the current Jeep Wrangler Rubicon suspension mounting brackets installed. They are completely assemblied, with a 4.10 gear, disc brakes, and locking differential with locking sensor. A limited slip rear axle assembly is also available. Adaption of these units into previous models is the responsibility of the purchaser."
So I would assume that "YES" these are from the JK's but modifying them should be "NO PROBLEM".

ask for Jesse Rios in the Parts department. Pretty sure he's in parts. A few other member of my local club do sales for them. Really great place.
