Comes to over $11k when you add the lockers, powder coat and brakes. And you are still just getting a 5 lug, semi float.

$11k for the Mopar 60's, 8 lug full float.

No need for  powder coat.  Half the weight of those mopars and the brakes work great.

Don the narrow rear works great.  Others do it too.  Turns better.  Shipping is creating and shipping.  Is what it is.  Mopar and dyna shipping is about the same. You drill your rotors... Takes 15 minutes.

Ok not half lol

RockJocks truly bolt in and use your calipers, front and rear, ebrake, brake lines stay etc. 

I've been reading a lot of modifications are required to the mopars.

Nothing wrong with a 5 lug and FF isn't that big a deal unless you are a beater and or racing

I talked to Hudlow last week. Since the rock bouncers have become so big junk yard axles are hard to find. Hudlow says their supplier has dried up. Johns were the last set and if you can find them you might as well buy new for the money. He said these rock bouncer builders are buying everything on the east coast.

I have to say that if I had to do it all over again, I would have just worked with AllSouth to source the axles and probably would have just bought something new. I had lots of issues with my rear D70 and in the end Steve did right by me but lots of back and forth and lots of hassles and a set of R&P's.

Flange axles bend, you and I have both done it more than once.

When I drop coin on a 60 it will be full float

Currie
Dynatrac
Mopar

I'm good w all of them.  But I want a full upgrade. Big axle tube, big ring and pinion, 8 lugs and FF.

True but I've never know anyone to bend the RJ flange except me and it was understandable.  The 44s are butter.  Probably would have busted a hub on that rock if I had a full, or a wheel.
