Currie (FR & RR), Teraflex (RR),. River Raider is supposed to come out with complete kits FR & RR.

you'd need a D44 out of an F250. The currie brackets are made for 3 inch tubes.

here's something to try... you can buy the inner knuckles from Dynatrac that are made for their JK ProRock D44's (3" tubes). you can weld them to a D44 or D60 with 3" tubes to use the JK outter knuckles. Not sure if the U-joints are the same ???

I am getting a custom drag link made up tomorrow. Other than that, everything went together as planned. I ditched the coil perches and went with coilovers instead to make it a little easier. Also ran a 3 link long arm from Rock krawler to free up some room on the drivers side. Now I just have to modify my exhaust to make room for the driveshaft and its all done.
WOW

pics plz

I've been wondering what ever happened to your build. you never updated your build thread. can we get some details? I've had a few ideas floating around:

1) Junk yard 60
2) dynatrac prorock D44 inner C's (beefy and made for a 3" tube) gusseted
3) stock jk outter knuckles w/32 spline hub (for sensors)
4) RCV axles with 35 spline inners and 32 spline outters

I estimate it to run about $4000 - $4500 on the high end.
about how much did your build run?
