Recently swapped a 98 5.2 into my 92 YJ, used Dakota bell housing, bolted to AX15, etc. Great swap, took more time than I was expecting, wiring was fun, but forums helped tremendously and everything went together great, great power, great overall conversion. Had 4 cyl, so front axles are Dana 30 and rear Dana 35. Just finished this up 2 weeks ago, and after hitting the gas a little too hard, tore up rear axle gears, now rear spider gears have 4-5+ broken teeth. Jeep currently has 35" tires, 4" leaf spring lift plus ~1.5" shackle lift, and also have the Procomp 5" coil spring conversion that I planned to use, but just haven't yet.
Anyway, now need to upgrade axles, looking for suggestions for front and rear, and wanting to do something with auto-lockers, or something I can drive daily on highway. Have coil spring conversion kit, so thinking might could use axles for coil springs, depending on what I can find and what is recommended.
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
