I'm still buying all the parts but I have 12000 set aside the axles I got real cheap and I saved a few dollars buy not having to buy spring mounts since I'm switching to coilovers. Also I allready have the longarm suspension so I don't have to buy that either ultimately it depends on how strong and how flexible you want to make it

Yeah that's true but my jeep is burning a quart if oil every thousand miles so I need to take it in and get that figured out before I do anything else to it.

That sucks, so far I havnt had any issues and I was hoping for a new engine a long time ago but this 3.8 is still running strong 120000 miles later, that's probly the first time I've heard anything about the 3.6 messing up

Its 69.25 wide so its really not much wider than the jk axle tha will also help with tire wear cause I won't have to use as much offset to get the same track width as I had before

Good to hear, that was something that I had worried about.
