Still got it? Any shots of the underside?

What answers you’ll get are likely from folks who have 35’s and a stock wheel base who also have never ran 35’s and stretched wheelbase. So their answers are all going to be yes, 35’s on a stock wheelbase are fine. It’s like the guys who run stock gears and taller tires. They don't know if...

Looks like 33’s

Now that it’s fullfloat, yes.

Could be a couple mm in the front rotors. But who’s to say they factory brakes aren't already oversized? One of the JL models has a bigger brake kit from the factory.

It is interesting looking at the Bronco Raptor specs, to handle the hp/tq and tow rating numbers, the Ford engineers increased the ring and pinion size, choosing a Dana solution that provides a 9.25” ring gear in a semi float setup. This allowing 4,000lbs of towing caps. Jeep engineers chose to...

Several post in here pointing to unit bearings being sealed and non-serviceable, that’s not always the case. Some newer unit bearings and some aftermarket unit bearing are serviceable and rebuildable. Will Dana or the sub contractor who builds the unit bearings, build these for the new Wrangler...

I cant wait to see one of these in real life. Hopefully someone does a deep dive on it.

The 2024 Wrangler refresh has been announced and what peaked my interest the most is the Dana 44 rear is now full float and looks like they are using a unit bearing.

Lots of shortcuts and budgeting in this one. The axle choice was a really bad choice. 37’s and 44’s prob wasnt the best choice there. If I were you, I’d pass

Machined for 10 inch gears too! Nice score

Genright sells blank corners and you cut them yourself.

Some of those same reasons is why I went with Reid’s super kingpins on my Spidertrax front axle.

And I believe with the 99-04 SuperDuty knuckles you get more options for hubs vs the tiny selection for 05+

The machined finish can be added at anytime.
