Any service suggestions?

I am doing an axle swap in the next week or so, is there anything else I should be doing to my jeep while I have my axles out?

There’s a ton of things you can do. What’s the game plan?

Unbolting the "old" axles and bolting in the new ones. Swapping out some tired springs in the rear and then bolting in the new axles. Just seeing if there is any service work that will be way easier with the axles out.

Inspect the control arm joints for wear and tear and perhaps tie rod and drag link if you are keep the same ones.

New tie rod and drag link but will look at control arms for sure

keep an eye on the brake lines as well with the 3/4" wider axles each way

Just with routing them? Or do I need to worry about lengthening them

just keep an eye on the length at full droop. also linking a build thread to a guy that did the rubicon axle D44 wide. he posted the whole process with all the parts needed for the wider axle
