Hey,

How about this for my Dana 35 ? (The Confer Super Skid truss)

I'm sure it would not hurt the 8.25 either.

Can't wait til the Auburn ECTED is released for my axle.

An over-the-axle truss like that won't work on the KJ because of where the upper control arm mounts to the axle. I suppose you could do some heavy duty suspension and axle modification, but I don't think it'd be worth it unless you're going to straight axle the Jeep and run 35s on it. At that point I don't think you'd want to be running a D35 (or even an 8.25) in the rear anyway.

The confer under axle truss. it don't really hurt ground clearance. Ever see how low the a-arms hang?

with a 31 or 32 inch tire being pushed by a 6cyl it isnt really needed. you just aren't able to stress the joints at the axle housing
