That was an axle I picked up at a local trailer supply place. I had them order the width I wanted in a 5000(?)# unit.

So the bed came in from the cold, put it on jackstands, got the leaves back under it, used my stock XJ shackles leftover from the silver jeep since someone cut one of the MJ shackles at the junkyard....dammit. If I need more clearance I'll just buy some XJ lift shackles to get it back to the MJ length or some more. 

Then since I don't have tail lights I played around with a set of 2500 tail lights that Ive had forever, someone else did this and it looked ok so I thought I would try it. I can make it work but its not a real easy job to make them fit, lots of cutting and not good mounting options.

I also got the flares I've had awhile for possible use on my MJ, since these are the painted flares, and tossed em on the bed since those were also pulled before I had a chance to grab it:

So then I went and bought steel, 11g 3x3, and some 3" wide 1/8 strap. the inside of the Mj frame rail is almost exactly 3 1/8". 

New welder ready for action:

Tacked it into place:

Trying push vs pull:

Ok not perfect welding, but so much better than the stick welder. 

So this will slide in, and then get plug welds from the frame sides and the end of the frame welded where its sticking out of the inside to the new bar.
