There are many D60's out thee,many you want to stay away from since they are basically junk,read this D60 bible--http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/60_front/index.html.Basically no Chevy front diff will work since they are passenger side drop and you need a drivers side drop axle.Stay away from divorced t-cases,the KJ does not have the wheelbase to run a divorced t-case.D70's are cool but very huge,better to covert a front D60 to a hybrid using D70 outers to make it just as strong,a C14 rear diffs are cheaper and stronger then a D70 rear.You'll need to run at 40" tires to gain any clearance with D70's or the C14 diffs.Stay away from newer Doge D60's,info will be listed why in the D60 bible.If you pay more them $250 for a C14 rear diff you paid to much,it would need to be built pretty good to be worth anything,there easily found for real cheap.

all of those are beefy axles but remember....the only reason i didn't go w/ something bigger before is because how much metal would be used to reinforce everything...those axles are heavy and big...d60 front & rear, d44 d60, d44 14 bolt, d44 9", 60.9" front and 9" rear, those are all good combos... you need to put in perspective of how big of tire size you are going to run... d70, 14b and even d60 have big pumpkins...what's the use if your dragging them everywhere you go...i have a fee=w good leads on ford 9" d60 and front d44 if your interested... |
