I'm running a 14 bolt in the rear on a double triangulated 4 link, chevy 60 up front....513 yukons, a 300 transfer case...double beedlocks inside a nice set of TSL's....oh, all pushed with an AW4......
i drive my jeep carefully...i'm not one who is heavy on the throttle...i actually have decent flex with them...my rear shocks are too short right now to really get a good flex shot as they shipped me the wrong ones...i go alot of trail riding and i do some moderate trails...no i dont hardcore rock crawl it...but i go where ever a mildly built jeep goes...i have pushed it more and more lately since i will be upgrading everything soon and i hate to replace something if its not broken...plus i like to know just how far something will go till it does break...but thats just me
and as far as safish and i going toe to toe on the trails...i'm always up from wheelin...nothing wrong with friendly competition
btw safish nice rig...what are you running drive line wise?

I would stay away from the LQ4 and chevy drivetrain unless your going to reinforce the ***** out of the inibody...All your gonna do is stretch the frame and create undo stress from the HP and torque....all u neee is a good gear setup and it'll go wherever u point it..

U happy with that 300? I find 60's all day from Chevy's and there cheap... Fords are high... and hard to find... plus I think the 300's stronger and of course can be twin sticked... haven't really looked into the swap much... think ill be doing the triangulated 4 link up front as well when I'm ready... gonna need hydro steering for these 37's... probly just leave the rear as leafs... I dunno...
2cd, because there are lots of clearence issues and no good place for the crossmember that the uppers need to attach to...Put a Rusty's long arm kit up front and call it done, simple, and easy to install....Make sure if you get a front 60 that you get one with the king pin, get rid of any balljoint type..They are much stronger....The other thing to look for is to get a high pinion 60 wich only comes drivers side drop and retube it to acomodate the 300 w/o doing a 300 flip....

got it... has control arms and steering and all... was heavy as crap to put in the back of my truck though... i recommend a trailer instead to anyone... lol... $250 well spent! got my 9in rear disc brakes as well... now i think im just gonna go ahead and order some moser axles custom made for the 9in with 8x170 bolt pattern and stronger of course... and two H1 re-centers so i can at least get the rear end in and have it a true 2 wheel drive till i get this D60 built...
