I am in need of help. I just got a 2010 JKU Mountain edition over here in Korea and I want to lift it. I have been doing allot of research and I believe I have a good parts list built. If at all possible could someone go through it and give me any suggestions? I have only one shot at ordering part since it takes so long to get them shipped over here. I want to make sure I don't get half way in the build and forgot something. Thanks

Looks good, but a few questions.

What is the backspace/offset on the wheels?

Which brand of driveshaft? Adapter plates or new flanges?

Planning on moving to a front 44/60 at some point? If not, will you be ordering sleeves/gussets/alloys/etc for that 30? (the axle mods should be done when re-gearing to save some of the labor costs)

Make sure the gears are the 'thick cut' ones for the JK, and not the thinner ones for the older versions of these axles.

 

Wheels have 4.5 offset
Drive shaft I found on Northridge 4x4 part #4744400 and #4743200
It is news to me about the adapter plates and flanges. I guess its a good thing I asked.
Also could you give me a good part number for the sleeves/gussets/alloys/etc ?
I have not researched them. Thanks

 

If you are ordering through Northridge, you might just send David a PM. He can hook you up with all the numbers and probably put together a decent package deal.


Here are a few threads on sleeves. One thing to note is that if you decide to go to RCV's / 35sp shafts at some point, you may have issues with inner sleeves. So try to get a long term build plan together before you install.

You should also read through some of the other axle upgrade threads and decide if you would be better off just biting the bullet and moving to a PR44 instead.

Here is one of the many threads discussing it:

Those driveshafts have new flanges, you're good to go. (though you might let David talk you into going with Coast shafts, it'll save you a couple hundred)

Also, if you look in the JK section of the northridge website, you'll see gear 'packages' that include jk specific front and rear gears along with overhaul kits.

 

Thanks for all the help. I think I am going to just beef up the shafts I already have. I am really not a rock crawler so I hope the beef ups will suit my needs. I will for sure get with David about all this. Thanks again.
