[QUOTE="ItsA96, post: 1573215, member: 18280"] I'm leaning towards a 60 front and possibly full-boat with kingpins but we'll cross that path when I get to it, gotta get the rear built first. Still been doing a lot of research and getting feedback on other forums. Here's where I stand atm. Open to a D60, 14 bolt, Sterling or others. The important thing is I'd like to find one with 3.73 gears and a limited slip, the more aggressive the better. Plan is to build a semi-floater with my take-off WJ brakes and swap to larger JK brakes at a later date. The important thing is that the housing can be narrowed to near factory width. Picked up some JK rotors and compared them to the WJ brakes. Couldn't get my hands on a backing plate. The overall height of the rotors is the same and it appears by swapping the backing plates the brakes are interchangeable. What I don't know is if the housing end mounting is the same dimensions and if this is a somewhat standardized size? The measurements I took indicated that the axle widths wouldn't change so as long as the speed sensor has the same relationship to the tone ring and the e-brake can be hooked up it should be a pretty straight forward swap.
