ok to start i have a 94 xj, 4.0, ax15, 231, dana 30 detroit and 4.56. 8.25 with aussie locker. 4.56. now for suspension i have rustys 6.5 coils with 2" spacers. rusty's 6.5" spring packs. and worn out shocks. an sye kit on the 231 also. 35x12.50r15 x-terrains. i have homebrew longarms they are built just like the rusty's set-up.
now to the issue... everytime i go wheel i snap a shaft. and i would like to be able to do some serious rock crawling. i live in nebraska but i go to tuttle. and want to go to disney. and other parks. i have a set of 37's and would like to be capable of max 39.5. now having a light jeep and not enough power to be a throttle junkie. here are the axels i am looking at.
a dana 44 and ford 9 inch out of a 79 ford bronco. i found them here on this site. i don't know much about these axles and that is why i am turning to you guys. i would like to mate my 231 with a 205. i was thinking doing 4.88 gears in the axles and detroit lockers. since i currently have them and they work good for me. are these axles compatible with the tire size and full lockers? also how much wider would my axle width be? i am also looking into stretching my wheelbase back by flipping my springs and gas tank but that is a whole different story. are the brackets able to be taken off of these axles to have new brackets made for the 4 link? trackbar bracket and so forth. this axle capable of hi-steer?
i would like to do this right the first time. so any input is needed i do know about uni-body bracing and it will all be beefed up.
thanks in advance
