The same way you make rear axles become rear steering axles....a lot of cutting, fabricating and welding. It can be done, it's just not cost effective on a new Jeep. Cheaper to buy new and upgrade to heavier duty "front specific" axle.

Thats a good answer. Easier to upgrade to a heavy duty front axle.

Skid steer jk!

Sounds like a fun offroading experience. No steering, just keep bouncing of objects until you get...well...er...somewhere.

Would it be better to go with a 44 in front or a terraflex in the front?

murdoc319

what do u mean a teraflex?

Depends on your usage. A PR44 is plenty stout for 37's, but a 60 would be better if you go bigger.

Sorry I meant a teraflex in the back. http://www.teraflex.biz/jk-crd60r-rear-axle.html
And then putting a 44 in the front

Depends on how you wheel. Just sleeves and gussets would work fine on a majority of jk 44's. You could put 35 spline shafts in it, and its pretty bullet proof at that point. As far as the rear goes, i haven't heard of any problems with it. My oppinion run the rear till it blows up, which it probably never will will trail use, sleeve and gusset the front till you pop an axel shaft, then throw a set of 35 splines in it. The only problem with the jk 44's is the front c's and tubes.
Save yourself a ton of money and run what you brung.
