After much research I think I am leaning toward the Dynatrac full floating 60s front and rear. I think some other less expensive options would be plenty heavy for me, but after much thought I think over kill is just right. I will own this Jeep for a very long time and want to do it right.

Any informed input pro or con would be great. I will be going with 38s or maybe even 40s with 5.13s and am hemi powered. I don't off road every weekend or anything but I run the nasty trails when I get a chance.

Input on tires, axles, or anything else I should consider doing during the big swap is welcome. Probably won't get the parts for about a month or even more.

Thanks guys!

 

I run Dynatrac full floats, worth every penny! I only wish the 8 lug was an option at the time mine were built. That would be my only advice for you, other than that you won't be disappointed.

 

it's what i would recommend and wish i had gotten from the get go

 

Thanks for the advice. I have done so many things twice on this Jeep, I just want to do axles once!

 

With the Hemi and that size of tire it is nice to not have to think about things.

I'd go 60 if it is in the budget.

 

FYI; I am going with 8 on 6.5 lugs and big brakes!

 

You won't be sorry you went FF. For your use, it's the best option.

 

Very nice choice. I also went with the Foote Competition Chromoly axle shafts front and rear that Offroad EVO specs with many of their Dynatrac Pro Rock builds. Just prepare yourself for the sticker shock, and realize in the end you will not worry when you are wheeling on the trail. Keep us posted on any updates

 

What width did you go with and how much lift to clear the 40s? Did you trim alot? Sick Jeep my friend! Mine is black now too

 

I went with the standard full width bolt in Pro Rocks for the JK. They are wide, but not illegal! If you look at the album "JK on 40"s" in my profile, you can see a couple of photos of the trimming I did and EVO did in rear. It's actually quite a lot but, if you cut and not just hammer/fold the pinch seams over it looks really good. Also, I did follow Wayolife's build really closely and listened to his suggestions(minor ones) on wheel backspacing, etc. In my profile I have all the info on my Walker Evans measurements that I currently run.

Edit: left out my lift info. Credit again goes to JK forum, Wayolife, 4x4Garage JK edition magazine because they all steered my path to Offroad Evolution who did my suspension upgrades, along with the axle install. Because I run coilovers, the ride height is adjustable and the jeep sits lower than you think. Lift height is equivalent to about 4"-5" at the moment. I can adjust up to probably 10" if I needed????

Hope this helps
