I’m on tons and 40s. There are plenty of times I wish I was still on stock axles with 37s.Would it be okay to run a full-float 60 with a stock Rubicon front 44?
I’ve got a ’12 JKUR with a 3.5 inch lift and 35s and I’m looking to upgrade axles. Realistically, I’d like to do both, but it would be easier to start with one and then do the other later. Other than the obvious downsides (different lug patterns and having to match gears), I know the front 44 would definitely be the weak link.
My thought is: would it be realistic to put a UD60 in the rear, regear and beef up the Rubicon front 44 for 12–18 months, and then do the front later? Goal would be to run 40s if I go down this route. I know PSC steering and other mods are part of the conversation, but for now I just want to figure out if this axle setup is doable as a step in the process.
Has anyone here run something similar?
I'm just saying. I live farther away from good wheeling spots than when I built it. So, I mostly drive around the city with it. there is noticeable power difference with the 3.6. 1 tons and 40s aren't all candy canes and unicorns.
lol. Just giving you shit.I'm just saying. I live farther away from good wheeling spots than when I built it. So, I most drive around the city with it. there is noticeable power difference with the 3.6. 1 tons and 40s aren't all candy canes and unicorns.
Though when I get the chance to put them to use in their element, I do love it.
oh I know. i'm just trying to give the OP some stuff to think about before he goes into debt building tonner.lol. Just giving you shit.
I’ve never run tons and 40s, so I can’t talk.
