Building the ultimate Dana 44?

[4.3LXJ]

Next up is what to do about brakes. I could use the drum brakes, but I have something better in mind. The Jeep already has WJ rear brakes on it and I like them. Not sure if they are up to stopping 40s, but we shall see. First is a way to ount them. The WJ bracket and parking brake is made out of composite, and can't be welded. So I made these brackets to weld on to the axle housing.



Then what to do about suspension. I have good flexy rock springs now, but they are not up to the added horsepower I am contemplating. So I am also making brackets for a linked suspension.
