I wouldn’t go higher, I’d chop more of the fender even though it’s armor. Staying as low as possible and creating the clearance for your tires is the best way to get good usable clearance
Old video I know, but wondering if you have any issues with the rear driveshaft/pinion on the 10.5 hitting the gas tank after the stretch, both on the street and during articulation? I've got a set of 2008 F350 axles I'm working on swapping into my 2015 2 door and have heard they play hell with the gas tank.
Any updates on your rear sway bar? Have you relocated your Rear sway bar yet? Im planning a rear end stretch and was thinking of changing out my exhaust with Flowmaster #817752 exhaust system. Hopefully it gives the clearance needed to relocate the sway bay back.
awesome build! How did you connect the JK e brake to the ford axle? I saw that you used JKU e brake line for the length. I have 2014 JK that I am doing a swap to rn. The e brake is my last step. Any help is appreciated.
mike townsend so I had to do some trimming to get the brake cable to go in the sterling e brake location. I adjusted the brake in the rotors.After that I ran the cable to the hand brake connection. And put It back in the oem location. But I added cable nuts and pulled the slack out by hand and tighten the cable nuts and it works, if you want pics add me on instagram or Facebook @mista._jonez
Loved watching your build. I also have a 99-04 I am working on putting in my JK. Plan on using the Currie hubs as well. Where did you source your 35 spline outer stub axles shafts from? The only options I’ve found so far are a set from ECGS as well as a set from Yukon. Curious what you used.
Keep Jeepin thanks for replying, I did find some less expensive aftermarket 35 spline stub shafts I bought. My currie unit bearings are on order. Last piece of my bullied is now finding rotors, did you have a shop re-drill a set of 8x170 rotors for 8x6.5 or did you find an off the shelf set of 8.6.5 rotors? Can you share a part number of you did? Thanks man.
Are you running a 14 bolt in the rear? If so I would run a spacer that changes the lug pattern to match the front?, also the 14 bolt is a little narrower then the Dana 60. Why are you wanting to have rotors re drilled? I have the 8x170mm pattern front and rear.
Keep Jeepin Keep Jeepin really? The Currie unit bearings only come in 5x5.5, 6x5.5, and 8x6.5...at least that’s what the Currie website shows. I ordered the 8x6.5. My rear will be a 14 bolt or a Dana Ultimate 60, both are 8x6.5.
That’s odd it gave me the option for that pattern when I ordered them. See if your rotors for the rear axle will fit the front... idk what too tell you on that besides re drilling
Wish I had the 05 and up axles the turning radius sucks but it’s doable. Wish I bought a drive shaft with a parking break because it’s not very good on that sterling 10.5”
So happy to see the update👍
Awesome video mate, absolutely sick looking Jeep
Gotta love a two door. Thats a super clean build man
Awesome 👏
Goood info here. Thanks for the video!

Looks good all about done. You plan to keep your tailpipe in that spot? I ran mine ending before the axle
biglowsd Gonna do something with it. I need to find out what the laws are to pass inspection
Keep Jeepin I put on a muffler just for that occasion. I like the sound without it
Did you cut the width down on the axles? It did you leave them factory length? Looks great.
Left them factory length
Hey man, I know the Dana 60 and 14 ply are slightly different width. Did you use a spacer or what did you end up doing?
I’m using a Dana 60 and sterling 10.5” they are both from ford trucks. If you use a 14 bolt you will need spacers to match the with
You in the Austin area? Think I saw you over at the AMC theater parking lot one night.
Joshua Jackson yeah im near Austin
Hey do you have a Facebook or Instagram? Have some
Question about the stretch ?
Hey man, have you addressed the rear sway yet
Joey Mitchell no I haven’t put one on
did you have to buy new drive shafts?
Ctrl Null yeah I knew I for got something in the video. I bought them from Adams driveshafts
Any new updates? Changes? Regrets?
