    So, just finished swapping my track-lok carrier out for a factory spicer open case. However, when the rear axle is jacked up, both wheels spin the same direction? Im not missing any parts and I am almost positive I installed everything correctly. Drives fine but just wondering as it is very...

    Axles offset to driver's side

    I just got a 99 wrangler all stock except it's sitting on 31s with 15x8 rims, so the wheels stick out from the flares a bit. Since they stick out it wasn't until some time later i noticed the front axle is offset to the driver's side by maybe an inch. I noticed the lower control arm mount on the...

    Super 35 Cost

    Over the winter of '22-'23, I had an issue that forced me to go ahead with a Super35 install, so I thought I'd post a cost breakdown for anyone looking into a Super35 setup. After looking for a Dana 44 for about a year and doing the math, I decided a Super35 setup was the most cost effective route...

    Hi all, I recently purchased a 1997 wrangler sport, it has a ford 8.8 rear axle with discs. I’m looking to install my parking brake, none of those components were swapped over.

    Need help finding a rear wheel sound

    I’m trying to figure out a sound coming out of what appears to be my rear, driver-side wheel when I make left turns on the street. I'm sure it happens on the trail, but it started happening since March, and I haven't taken it anywhere. It's a 2006 TJ Rubicon 6-sp 4.0L, 5.5” long-arm lift (4-bar...

    Rear Axle Clunk: Brake Caliper or Axle?

    Been chasing a "clunk" for some time now. It only happens the first time braking after changing direction from forward<->reverse. Getting out of parking spaces is a great example of the conditions for the clunk. Threw a couple of GoPros under the chassis and saw that the brake caliper jumps...

    Pennsylvania Ford 8.8 rear axle

    I am selling a Ford 8.8 rear end from a 2007 Ford F150 XL 2WD. I recently swapped it for a Ford 9.75" rear end, so I cannot send it in as a core. The ring and pinion has significant slop, which is the reason it was removed. It will have to be regeared. It still has the worn out factory 3.55...

    Minimum threading of adjustable rear control arms

    What would you say is the minimum amount of threads I should have from the rear lower control arms when installing a new axle? I was hoping to better center my rear wheels in the wheel wells by pushing the axle back a little, but run out of threads on my adjustable arms before it's perfectly...

    Rear axle truss for Ford 8.8

    I bought a Ford 8.8 and in the process of shaving all the bracketry off and doing all the seals and bearings. I'm planning on doing a truss kit because I think it will all be easier in the long run rather than individual brackets for everything and getting the geometry right on all of it. The...

    Can I replace an ABS rear axle with a non-ABS rear axle?

    I'm planning on replacing my entire rear axle Dana 35 1:3.73 on my TJ Sport 4.0L Manual. My current setup has ABS and I found a 2000 TJ Sport 4.0L Manual that a local is parting out, but he's not sure it has ABS. Can I replace an ABS rear with a non-ABS rear?

    Wheel studs spinning inside spacer

    Hey all, ive got a 2003 Rubicon and I've been reading up on changing my passenger side rear axle seal on my Dana 44. When I got down to start I noticed the PO put on some spacers and used loctite to secure the spacer to the studs. When I went to remove them I could only get three off while the...
