and just because someone else breaks **** in their 44 all the time doesn't mean you will.

my 44 is 8 lug out of an F-250, the kind folks on pirate directed me to this site...http://77cj.littlekeylime.com/web_rs44.html when I was choosing my front axle.

sure a kingpin 60 up front would be nice, but be prepared to have much deeper pockets when building it. I had the option of a kingpin 60 that was bone stock with 3.55s, and my 250 44 with 5.13s ARB air locker, flat tops, and mollys, and once I did the price comparison the 44 one hands down.

still going tons on the rear axle. shaved corporate 14 bolt.

good luck friend.

When will you be starting to throw them under the jeep? I'll ride down to see that for sure and maybe learn a little. my girlfriends dad has a 9 inch sitting I'n his garage I eyeballed I start my new job soon and making around 15 bucks an hour maybe more with nothing to pay for but the jeep maybe I'll be on 35s one day....

Installed the JCR front bumper with tie ins and steering box spacer. Super easy install, did it by myself in a few hours!! Someone here gave my the idea of strapping the steering box up, worked great!! Just need to torque everything down, move the vacuum ball, and attach the horns.

I went ahead and tried to find the cause of the belt squeak....but had no luck. New water pump, P/S pump and pulley, new alternator, new belt..... still didn't fix it. So, I gave up for the day and washed it.
