I am starting a new build up and need some input. I need info on axles front and rear what would you guys run if you could? I was thinking 9" or 14bolt or maybe D60 what would be the best and found at a salvage also what vehicles did they come in. (Father in law owns a salvage), I am looking at about 4.5" of lift and at least 36" tires maybe bigger. There won't hardly be a fender and I am removing all doors and maybe lengthing the wheel base. Let me know your ideas. so far the plan is to use a I6 HO with 231 or Dana 300 tcase. Full spool rear with locker in front.
 
60 would be my choice. Weld it instead of buying a spool. 14B would be overkill for 36's IMHO. 9's are cool and all ( I had one in my XJ) but I'd still go with a 60.
