I think they say 3" of lift for 37s. I have heard great things about the nth degree kit. At $3800 it better be good... ... From: artoerne

I think poking holes is a good thing. I'd much rather be brought back to reality in an email than endure some serious financial or physical pain when

I agree with Don a stock Ford 9" (small bearing) came with 28 spline axels. This was used in I believe Fords prier to 74 and you do not want one of the those.

Don, I have read your write-up. Considering that I'm not doing any heavy pulling (do any of us really do any heavy pulling in our Jeeps?) and the cost

Leonard, you are correct and I did leave that out...I considered it but thought it might fall into the Œto much information¹ category. Writing about
