LJ Upgrade Questions

[rexcsmith]

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I bought a bunch of upgrade parts for my CJ and have now decided to use them to upgrade my LJ.
- JK axles with electric lockers. 4.88 Dana 44, Dana 60
- 5.3L LS
- 4L60E trans
- Atlas transfer case

I will probably need to raise/beef up the suspension for 37's

Would appreciate any pointers to literature, etc that might give me a head start.
In the meantime, I'll browse the forum.

thanks,
rex

I'd spend some time checking out these two sections of the site in-depth.

I wouldn't think 4.88s would be good for 37s.

JKs didn't come with a Dana 60.

4LE60 is an LS transfer case...but your profile mentions a 4.0.

As @Chris mentioned lots of good reading here. I'd do some research, make a build plan and then hit us up with questions.

I'm a couple hours south of you if you need anything.

Mac, note from my posting that I'm putting in a 5.3L LS.
The 4.88s are Dynatrac axles compatible with the JK. Rear Dana 60, Front Dana 44
