Dana 35 or 44 in the rear? '97's are all D35's, IIRC. There are also some very subtle differences in things on 97's that you have to watch for, especially earlier production ones. Things didn't quite settle down on the TJ line until '98. Keep in mind there are no '96's... there are 95's and 97's built in 96. |

Got the front windows tinted to match the rears. Went with ceramic tint at 25 percent. Also put on some OEM LEDs, the stock halogens are awful and changed out the tail lights. I'm going to put on my sliders tomorrow. After that it will be front bumper, whenever it gets here and a RK No Limits 2.5 inch lift after I swap out the diesel springs for gas ones.

Full width one tons axles are going to provide more stability and strength. Curries? $7,000 per axle just so you can bolt it in and don’t have to buy new wheels. These are problems I don’t have. What is a ‘load bolt’? Sounds like something you add to a weak axle to try and make it almost as strong as something else. |
