I went wheeling and my bump stops were not long enough, so I had to add the ones I got with the kit. I almost rolled @ hollister hills because I could not turn the wheel. So heres what it looks like touching the bump stop with the tire on it.

Taco, are you making a lot of the parts yourself?? If so, looks like you're doing good work.

same stuff. Everyone thinks some of the mods I do won't work, but I always make it work to be different. I don't like being like every other TJ out there.

thanks Erik

no problem. I just hope your up for lots of work. It takes about 40 hours to do the job. It took me a week because I took my time and didn't need it to drive. I would do it when you get a rear diff, so you don't have to set the pinion two times.

To me it = nothing. I do not like Chrylers stuff. I know Chrysler does not know how to make rear diiffs.

Yup aand thats all that matters. My toyota diff I only payed $500 and that was complate with E-locker and 4.10's. I sold my Dana 44 with 3.73's for $950 bucks.

Chris, how much aftermarket stuff is available for the Chrysler 8 3/4?? Will you be able to make it trailworthy?? Those are some questions I would ask myself when choosing an axle.

Plenty of aftermarket stuff. 35 and 40 spline axles, lockers, spools, gears. Its basically a 9",but better. Removeable center section, higher pinion, more ring gear bolts than a 9". If it can live in a dragster thats making close to 900 HP, it can live in my little Jeep.

Sounds good to me. I wasn't aare that they were in some dragsters.
