Anybody running a 4 Banger Jeep on full size axles? My dad is tired of breaking axles so we are thinking of upgrading it to full size axles. He is worried about it being to much to turn with the little motor. It may stay a DD for a while but he has a pretty short commute with no freeway runs. He is running 35" tires and thinking of running 4.56 gears. He also has a doubler so I don't think it will be to bad off road.
The other concerns are clearance on the dif with only 35" tires. He wants to run a 14bolt. I am thinking we will probably have to shave it. What do you guys think? Lastly if he doesn't have the money to get a d60 front by Easter how bad would it be to run a d44? I have read some people say they are no better than a d30. I guess we are just looking for some opinions before we jump into this. Thanks guys.
