You will want to put a set of Chromo 30 spline Bobby Long Axles and Cv's in. And if you want to go the extra step put a set of chromo hub gears in or drive flanges.

Add to that some rear axels from McNamara Diffs.

These also come with much stronger than standard drive flanges.

Some bracing/gusseting around the knuckles especially may be a good idea if you're planning on running deep offset rims.


...I believe this is also available from trailgear/locktup4x4
