Well I finally finished my XJ andd took it out for a shake down this past long weekend. Did two trails nothing too difficult but the one trail did give me problems in the past but not this time, just walked right thru everything. Very happy so far.
Heres some pics:
The axle is a D44 from a wide trac Waggy. I reused factory coil buckets and moved them out about 1.5". On the driver's side I had some problems with the mount being to close to the pumpkin.
I welded the upper mount directly to the pumpkin. Used some preheat and special rod. Much easier than building a bridge.
I can definetly see why people buy pre-fabbed bracket kits, fabbing takes sooo long!!! When I do my HP Ford D44 I think I might buy a kit.
I'm using Dodge 8 bolt outers and a Dodge 3/4ton D60 in the rear. WMS is 65" for both. Aprox 7" lift with 36" IROKS. Front flares are Steel Horse 7" TJs and rear is just plain old conveyor belting.
