Picking up some new axles very soon, anyone out there with a garage and the skills to pull this off? I can pay in beer!

I’m new to this & don’t have anywhere to do such a thing so any help will be much appreciated.

Also, if there’s anyone who is mechanically savvy, but doesn’t have the tools or the place to do so, I can escort you on to base so we can work on it at the Autoskills shop.

Thanks In advance!

I'm nowhere close to you but have done this swap. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask and someone will be able to help you fairly quickly.

What axles are you swapping to / from?

I went from dana 30/35 to dana 44/44. The only unanticipated issue I came across was that the driveshafts needed to be shorted to work properly. If you have adjustable control arms you can push the axle far enough back but it is an issue you will need to address. Trust me if it comes down to it you can do this solo. The axles are plug and play.
