I started a new thread on this topic before I found this one. I have an 86 CJ7, straight 6, pretty much stock everything. About the only thing that I have done is to change the clutch linkage to heim joint ends. Best thing ever.
So I want to do an axle swap now because I want stronger axles, wider stance, hoping to get disk brakes front and back and I figured since I also want to do a 4" lift, this would be a good time to do it.
I do not know anywhere near as much about this stuff as you guys, but Im not exactly helpless either. I've been advised to go with Chevy truck axles with 4.10's, Dana 44 front semi float and a 14 bolt rear.
Where do I start? What year/s, what to look for, etc...
Also, as I have been looking around, it often seems cheaper to buy a whole truck than just the parts I want. WTH?
