    and my 609 build.


    Whats a 609 :doh:

    Ford 9" differential with Dana 60 king pin knuckles. Aaron is running them on his competition rig (hense the number 609).


    They're supposed to be pretty much bullet proof while maintaining a small differential for more clearance than a Dana 60.

    doesn't it limit flex steer and twisting nd lifting the front left when u gas on it?

    all jeeps raise in the back when you hit the gas...the leafs springs will flex the same and be more stable, plus its less crap to fix, no control arms or track bar..

    It's a much simplar set up, as was said, but the on road ride quality will be less. I doubt that is an issue though.

    he also pushed the wheelbase back a little.


    when I we stretched my yj in the same fashion the on road smoothness over speed bumps and such increased drastically.
