Hey guys - my computer crapped out and is on the way to Chumbawumba to get fixed, so I may be on way less than usual.
I have some Clayton 6.5" lift coils I do not need. I want some 4.5" to see where it puts my front end. The ones I have now are TJ coils that are about 5-5.5" of XJ lift and I believe are a little softer (better google that). I want my front end just a little lower to match the rear (and I do not want to go up in the rear....hahahahahaha).
If the 4.5's works out, I will have the 5-5.5 coils that I do not need as well - they are rusty's I believe judging by the bright orange. My setup nets me an extra inch and a half or so of lift, so I end up needing much smaller coils for the 5.5" or so that I want.
If you want to work a deal or buy the Clayton coils, text or call for fastest results. A PM may take a week for a response.
five six zero two one six three in the 801, yo!

.120 wall works fine, that's what probably 88% of the buggy's, rigs with cages or anything with tube for that matter is. i may have to drop you by a couple small scraps of tube to give you a demo for some understanding

What is a good front axle to go with my 8.8 rear. Dana 30 is good for? Also could I get a chevy d44 and have diff shafts made to 5x4.5?

Also could I get a chevy d44 and have diff shafts made to 5x4.5? No, as that pattern wont fit over a locking hub, you may be able to use an adapter, but still not sure on the center hole size.. Not to mention a Chevy is passenger drop and Jeeps are drivers drop.

lots of options. biggest limiter is the width and lug pattern.

(It will be with a solid 1 piece alloy shaft instead of the 2 peice)
Depends on the brand of joints. I run the same size joints in my D44 and have no problems... the 760X joint is the one to get (fits the shafts with the bigger u-joints)
