Pretty good vid. I will honestly say most of what you mentioned is required for even 37's. Anything 37s or bigger should be on a big brake kit. As far as axles, built D44s even on 37s are short timers for any Jeep wheeled. 40s on axles, buy once and cry once & just go 60s. Running even 37s without hydro steering is also an issue. JKs are already prone to snapping off sector shafts and taking you for a co pilot drive. No way Id ever run 40s without a bigger box and hydro for safety alone.

How about a vid on price breakdown? What’s the total all in for 40’s so far?

I'd suggest if anyone's going to run 40s on a Dana 44, might as well get 35 spline axle shafts...RCV to be specific. A 35 spline axle shaft & locker costs no more than a 30 spline shaft & locker. No reason not get 35 splines, especially if you're getting an aftermarket 44 otherwise you're doing yourself a disservice.

I pretty much have same setup, minus dana 60s lol I have long arm kit from teraflex. And my back spring are so bowed I see your rear springs are just slanted forward did you put shims under them to get them angled? I’m thinking I need to shim them.

There aren’t any shims in them I haven’t had an issue with them being bowed yet so I can’t really offer good advice on what to do. One of my other Jeeps that’s on long arms did have that issue and it was an alignment issue.

@@ROCKY_TV you’re totally right! I’m getting an alignment in a few days. The rear axle is just too far back. but the 40s need room haha it’s a fine balance. hopefully they get it right! thanks!

This Jeep has 2.5 ton aluminum steering, Reid knuckles and Teraflex ball joints. Hydro Assist is kinda optional depending on how you wheel. I’d love it on this Jeep but it’s going on my rock crawler not this one

what control arms are you using? like whats the length you went with for you axle to sit where it needs to, or is best at, with a 4 inch lift. i see you used some brackets. but that doesn't extend the distance on your control arms. so did you use an adjustable long arm kit? or did you just use drop brackets?

I’m running the arms that came with the teraflex lift it isn’t a long arm kit and has stock brackets just extended the front a little to stretch it forward and clear everything a little better. It still rubs very slightly at full lock flexed out

@@ROCKY_TV any spacer lift? Did you measure the stock arms compared to theirs? Was yours a rubicon before the lift? I’m only asking cause of my current cheep jeep build challenge.. trying to do as minimal work as possible but still want to crawl on trails. Right now I’m at $1445 and that includes the price of the jku wrangler… it’d actually be $5245 if I didn’t get hit by a soccer mom and get paid $3800 for the damage…

I’m not sure it’s been a few years since we installed the lift so I forget the measurements. It was a basic Sport so not a rubicon either. Good luck on your cheap build I wish I only had that much into mine 😂
