Well, why not to open a thread here instead of in General Discussions thread.

Bought this TJ from Copart action with salvaged title to move to another country. 4.0 engine, auto transmission. Front end rested on wheels, so I had no idea what happened to front axle. Anyways, front axle was no good and friend of mine was selling his Dana 44 axles. 3.5k for both and 1k for install. Not bad at all. Initially, I got Zone combo 4.25 kit, but decided to use only suspension 3 lift. With flat flares I should clear 33 tires, I think. 4.56 in there, so I have to regear to 5.13 with my auto transmission. Still need to get rear shaft and transfer case gears, but for now it's workable. I still have a few months to make it nice. Long cold winter in the mountains here. Here some pics.

Yes, the rubicon uses 1330 joints and others use a 1310. The cross is slightly larger when you compare the two. I would recommend changing the yoke to a 1310 and using your own driveshafts. The 1310 offers slightly larger angle operations.

My driveshaft is toasted, so I have to use Rubicon one. Thanks for the help.
