Message: [QUOTE="m j, post: 636532, member: 9848"] so you have no clue why the rear track is narrower then the front. I have never owned a 99-04 SD unit bearing axle, I wouldnt want one if it was free. I do not under stand why you need to swap the axle out to change springs...seems odd. "much more solid front" LoL ok yeah. if solid means rides like leaf springs no thanks, I already have that issue. unit bearings are not as solid as old skool spindles. other then making their wheels not swap what is the advantage of the metric pattern? just change for the sake of change? what part do you forsee being difficult to find? my "custom made setup" is all mainstream parts other then the parking brake shoes have 5 minutes of grinding, I think i can survive with out parking brake shoes and if I cant a grinder is pretty easy to find. park brake shoes are from the 10.5, the hardware kit is from the 97ish e350 to get the better springs. the only reason I have the e350 stuff here is that is the axle under the rear of my YJ spindle in my bj60 look good, 320000km is about 200000miles. I have 1978 d60, and an 80s kp60 in my YJ here too with original spindles. I wouldnt even know how to tell if a unit bearing was wearing out, a wheel bearing and race is pretty easy to visual check, how do you do that on a unit bearing? [/QUOTE]
