Yes I have had Clayton's brackets on my front 44 for over a year now with no problems. I did the install myself. There are alot of pics in Crash's 44 thread on page 3 and 5. Here is a link to page 3. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=52219&page=3 Shay

This probably the one you were talking about from the other thread. It makes sense if you look at awhile and get Clayton's high clearance bracket kit. Shay

Well I finally got the axle completed and installed a couple of weeks ago and have driven it a few times. Wanted to post some pics and get some opinions on alignment. It drives well but is darty on the highway. I figured the caster is too low so I took it in to be checked. Here is the printout...

No mounts for swaybar and no lower skids needed. Don't know about the high steer. Shay

Here is what Clayton's setup looks like on the TB end. Shay

Oh yeah it is an 81 model axle. Shay

I have the YK D44 yukon master install kit and the supplied inner seals are too small to press fit into the Waggy 44 axle tubes. I have been all over and none of the local part stores have a clue to say the least. So I call Randy's R&P and they give me a bullshit # that ended up being a seal...

Would like to get ahold of some complete shafts both sides. Shay

Just received my new set of Cragar 397's today from Summit which had the best price and shipping. My question is the load rating for the rims looks to be a little low at 1500 lbs. for a 30 inch tire. Just curious what my previous rockkrawlers were because they held up fine. My Zj is...

should I go for the full 6"? Well my wife took that route and she hardly ever smiles :) Shay

Yes that is the way he does it and it works well for his major abuse! Shay

Yea you are right no bumpstops, no swaybar mounts ( I will make some), no steering stabilizer mount( I don't run one anyway) It will all work out. I would have welded to the perch if I had to but that is not how he designed the kit and I went by what Clayton said so we will just have to...

You have to cut most of it off for the spring perch and other mounts. Well with nothing to go buy I cut a little too much off and to feel safer I cut some 3in dia. pipe in half and welded it all back up to help support the area. Shay

Oh well for what it is worth I finished welding up the axle yesterday and thought I would post some completed pics. Shay

Maybe try putting it in from the passenger side like in this picture. I think there is a certain way the bracket is tapered to accept the bushing sleeve? Shay

Here is a pic of another axle that Clayton worked on himself. He just welds the hell out of it but he is an awesome welder and I am not. I do have some nickel rod and have been practicing on an old diff just to make myself a little more confident. And here is a pic of the passenger side...

The flat plates go on top of the lower mounts and are the base for the spring pad. Yea it confuses me also and the cad drawing is all I have to go on. He doesn't have the front axle bracket kit on his site but he does sell them. Not cheaply though I might add. Very beefy kit though. By the...

Hope this helps for the ones setting up brackets. This is a cad drawing by www.claytonoffroad.com. Shay

Hey I just registered so I could post some useful info. I have a ZJ that I am in the process of putting a Waggy 44 in up front which is really no different in the front than the XJ. I got my front brackets from www.claytonoffroad.com and it is a nice setup. He sent me a cad drawing for...
