Keep that ride height eh? That might be alittle short for the 37" tires. Right now the jeep just has an add a leaf lift and a 1 inch body lift.

I have a 4.5" RE XD lift and Tj flares to make some more room. I am giong to keep the ax-15 and np231 but I am going to swap out the 4.2 for a 4.6 stroker. For axles since I already have an 8.8 in the rear I will probably just find a dana 44 out of a wagoneer for the front.

I wish that axle on the ground was a dana 60 but its sadly only the old dana 35 I destroyed.

I got the engine working so I am just going to keep running the stock one for now. The coil, ingintion control moduel and the better all went bad at once. I now just need to put on the Tj flares, rocker guards, and get the driveshaft shortned so it fits since I got it off a wrangler with an auto. Still have the dana 3o up front too for now untill I build a dana 44

oh yea, the drivers front brakes stick. after I release the pedal they don't release untill a couple of seconds later. What could be causing this? The caliper is pretty new. I replaced it about a year ago but then it sat for about 8 months.
