1st. read the mission statement at the top of the forum to MAKE SURE your jeep fits in this section. cool and all if it has an ugly exo :laughing:

Photobucket/imageshack to host photos. unless you wanna pony up the 20 bucks for the redstar for pirate to host them.

um... a welded d30 front with unit bearing hubs and 33's?

i hope this thing doesnt see any street time. if so, youll hate life. (and so will your steering box)

So a d60 front for 35s...
A 906 would give you better clearance for that small of a tire. could do mod stock class with it though.

this. the 77-79 has just about perfect pinion placement for the front axle in relations to centerline of chassis when fullwidth.


Please go read the mission statement, this is ALLLLLLL in there. :homer:

rockwells.... lol

Spend the money on the 60. I've got a HP44 and for the amount of money I put into it to run rocks, I should have done a 60. Or you can wait til I find a 60 and Ill sell you a HP44.

my buddy's '96 XJ has a '76 F100 HP dana 44 under it.. he's got 4.88s, a detriot, chromo inners and outers with fancy wheel joints, warn hubs, TNT truss, blue torch high steer arms, completely rebuilt the thing... all tricked out.. i shit when he told me he had over 2500 bucks in it...

EDIT: oh, and he runs 37 MTRs

he's lookin to sell it if your heart's set on a 44... he was thinkin somethin around 2g's...

I would pack a 60 around for it if I never planned on going bigger than a set of 37 plus it will kill your ground clearence imo.

i need help im on a budget since im not makin much money right now what direction would yall go on the suspension?

:rolleyes:

Try searching and researching different setups and do what fits your budget and abilities.
