    Glad you got those control arms put in and nice score on the locker. I think it'll work better on the trail than the TruTrac you were contemplating.

    Ya this is full locker like the Detroit.
    The biggest thing I am doing with it now is the jk44 gear upgrade with cap splat bolts!
    No deflection thicker and larger gears the ring goes to 8.8 up from 8.5.
    The gear cuts have more curve in them and a touch deeper....this translates to better gear engagment!


    Drew hope you get you engine back soon man.

    Jason, rears are 1/4" longer and the front are 1/2" longer to push the front forward to get the tires off the fire wall at full stuff.

    did it work? I'm going to start with mine the same length. the rear already contacts the gas tank skid a little at full stuff (8.8 doesn't always play well in the stock location). and I don't have adjustable front uppers yet, so I'll not mess with that either.

    Yup worked super well.
    Have not stuffed it in the wheel well yet but by the numbers the front is forward enough to fix the issue. The rear is back to center under the jeep.

    The JK arms are a huge upgrade compaired to the TJ stuff.

    Hope you get yours beack to the way you want.

    As for the 8.8.....screw the Ford stuff, check out the link post about the Jana K4!
    I am adding 44% strength to my factory axle by using his set up!

    what do you mean about the JK arms? the arms you have pictured are for a TJ...

    as for the 8.8, your Jana upgrade has made your ring gear the same size as mine, and I've seen the stock 31-spline shafts hold up to a buggy on 37s for 8 years. I've got no qualms w/the 8.8. and the upgrade-ability of this axle is impressive as well. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Ya, the arms I used are for the TJ,.

    One compare the TJ stock stamped stuff to the arms on the JK the factory did some big inprovments for sure.


    As for the Jana upgrade I am about to do, I could in theory run 37's on it with some shaft upgrades, yet then I have to do a front axle upgrade for it to work.
    As well as 4" more lift and some wheel base work.....

    ah, wheelbase...on TJ's that's where the Just Empty Every Pocket comes in. gas tank, steering, wheel wells...it's just not easy! shoot, I'd be happy to just be able to move my front axle forward 2-3" w/out having to go full hydro!

    Astro box! Or the 2011 and newer dodge 4500 an 5500
    They use rversed boxes!
    Same bolt pattern for the dodge stuff.
    This would let you move the front with less issues, but more like 6" forward.

    Ya wheel base stretch is expencive!

    Jason, not sure if you have checked these put yet,
    http://core4x4.lunasoft.com/core4x4....6/tier-one-18/

    I like the arms build quiality, and you can get just uppers or lowers in different colors and with flex joints for realy nice prices, as well as US made!

    yeah, I was checking those out, but I fell across a set of Rock Krawler Super Flex double-adjustables for $50 for the set (minus front uppers). I've spent $60 rebuilding them, so I can't complain.
