Default EVO coilovers and lever on Dynatrac Axles

I have searched around but couldn't find a thread that talked about running this set up. If you know of a thread feel free to post it up here. In general, I was wondering how good of combo this would be on a JK. If anyone has done this before or if you have some input on this thought that would be great. Oh and Mel, if you have ever installed this set up on a JK what are your thoughts on it as well?
Thanks,
ZumaJeep

How good of a combo would it be? I dont see any downsides to dynatrac 60s with coilovers. This is a serious question?

I think that would be a great combo. I am looking at a similar EVO set up with SOLID D60's. But I don't think you would be disappointed with the Dynatracs. They are really good axles.

Why would you think it wouldnt be a good setup? The 60's are tough and Mel's coilover setup is in my opinion the best suspension setup available for our Jeeps. He has done many of these setups, in fact, just about every time I have been over to his shop (which has been quite a bit) I have seen multiple Jeeps with this setup on them.

That would be a great setup. There should be no problems what so ever. You can have the dynatracs built w/ bracketry to accept all jk mounts and Mel should be able to set you up w/ the proper coilovers for the added weight or the 60's. And if Mel is doing all the work im sure he would work hand in hand w/ dynatrac on the 60's to make sure they are setup properly directly.
THe only things that may have to be redone from an oem setup maybe drive shafts and some of the steering components; ie track bar, tie rods and the like.

Default Coilovers and 60's

Great combination.
Evo Coilover systems on any Dana 60 is an awesome combination.

Thanks Mel. You have me sold on it. When I get my JK I will definitely be coming down to the shop.

I'd like to hear more about a price to do the whole package. This would include the coilover conversion, the front and rear D60's, the new driveshafts, and the labor to set the whole thing up right!
