well im lookin into buying my grandpa's jeep (1990 wrangler yj)
im gonna lift it and beef it up and put some money into it.
im making it my toy for about the next 30 years lol.
well wat im wantin to ***
start from ground up i figure start w/ axles cuz if u want to lift it best have axles that u can fit to the suspension the first time around
then ive been lookin at the Black Diamond 7" lift for the jeep
after that im gonna trim up the fenders to squeez on 38's hopefully (lift fits 37 without mods)
other then that im gonna put in a v8 (probably a small block 350)if not a inline 6
sooo....
the help i need is..
wat axles should i get. i want bigger but not heavy as ***
im thinkin dana 60's i dont mind the wide wheel base i can fit the suspension to it. i dont really want to shorten up the axles.
and the suspension i know what im gettin.

well anyhooter. after readin this tell me if you have ANY suggestions
thanks for your time much appreciated.

you cant go wrong with the dana 60s, will last a liftime with 38s, good luck with your project, currie built dana 44s  are very good, would last you long a long time to, but the money thing, but you can get rear disc put on them, and they can be ordered for your jeep, bolt on.. just tell them what you got, or are getting for your lift.again good luck.

I think some cutting of the fenders will be neccesary to fit the 38s you want. If you wanna do it right the first time dana 60's are the way to go and try to make sure to get the high pinion model.   TriCountyGear.com deals alot with both of these so they are the people to contact.

Sorry I wasnt very specific. Tricountygear.com works a lot with the Black diamond lift and dana60 axles.
