My build... long arm lift, JK axle swap, stiffeners, whole 9 yards

[MfeMorley]

O yea I know I'll still drag on big enough stuff. I just don't want to be that guy that's a turtle and drags tons over everything and needs to be pulled because I'm dragging to much on belly. Like I said I'll run this for a while. A year or so and then decide if changes are needed. Idk if I'll work on it today. My main wrenching buddy has helped me on mine like 5 days out of the last week or so and he asked if we could work on his today so I owe it to him to work on his instead. Lol

Nice build man. I just did this exact swap. Jk d30 and d44 out back. Eaton elockers. The tricky part is gonna be steering but I used a jk tie rod. And a xj/Tj synergy drag link and stock pitman arm for now. I think a waggy pitman will get lock to lock though. The jk pitman has a slight curve and for turning right it works but not left. Just a heads up.

I'm at about 5 inches and on 37s btw. Gotta trim for stuffing regardless.

Woowoo I read in another forum that if you trim an inch of the threads off of the jk drag link so you can thread it further into the adjusting sleeve without bottoming out that it will work. However I think you need to ream the taper out a little bit in the xj pitman arm. That's what I'm going to try until I can make a custom one. I'll post in here what I end up doing

Woowoo can I ask how did you route your rear brake lines and hook up the e-brake? I haven't figure out how I'm going to do that yet.

I used a synergy jk tre on the knuckle and then a synergy xj/Tj tee in the pitman. No ream required. As for the rear brakes I used stock jk soft lines to the xj block. Got the bend out of the stock lines to that nickel copper lines. Tried to replicate the stock lines as much as possible. I'll try and see if I can get you a picture

I stretched the front as much as I could. The pumpkin/TNT truss and track bar mount might kiss a lil. We'll see

Sweet thanks man and I didn't know about that synergy stiuff, I'm probably do that instead for steering. I do have a dropped pitman arm already

No problem man. I used the Ruffstuff jk tie rod too btw but any will do. It was the better deal I thought.

[MfeMorley]

woowoo, Is this the drag link you used?

then you just used a JK tie rod end in the knuckle end of it?

[woowoo]

Yes sir that is correct.

[MfeMorley]

Thank you! I'll likely order that one as well then!
