shelbyluvv Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 New U-bolts and a way to make the height sensing valve happy if you still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Longer rear shaft? U-bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Best to go with new U-bolts for your rear axle. I'm not certain if the Dakota rear break line will be long enough. I had a rear YJ line on mine when I first went SOA and it wasn't long enough to allow the axle to drop fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 The Dakota line will do for DD...and I forgot to mention the ubolts :doh: my driveshaft should be fine if I read correctly... I have ax15 and a dana44 so it's the same length as a aw4-d35 driveshaft right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tymanche Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 well SOA on the rear lift your MJ 6.5 or are you using blooks? I want to do the same thing but I didn't know it would go that high Thanks Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 U-bolts: PM Tom @ Hellcreek. Best deal I could find for quality u-bolts. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motion Offroad Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You can just move the hard-line mount down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I think if I was doing 6 1/2 inches. even with adjustable contol arms, I think I would like some control arm drop brackets. youd get a better ride, and maybe even better flex. I'm not sure what you plan for offroading, but if you plan for a lot of on road, I think the drop brakets would make a much nicer ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
