    wheel bearings

    Removing wheel, brakes and axle nut. Then it's 3 12 point bolts on the back side. Sometimes they can be a bear to get out due to rust. I leave the 12 point bolts in but just barely and turn the wheel, it pushes the bearing a little and loosenes it. I may be skipping something simple but it...

    re-gearing for 35's

    Engine swaps have a lot bigger margin for error than gears. Gears are either dead on the first time or you'll trash them.

    leaf spring lift blocks...tell me what you think

    FYI S10s don't have coils, think they meant the leaves for a ******* pack, Dakota leaves work well for this too. ZJ front coil springs on a V8 will give an inch at best, the 4L versions are the same as XJ coils.

    re-gearing for 35's

    Depends on what transmission you're running. Autos tend to need lower gears than manuals. Depending on what you have you might be able to find a set with lower gears at a decent price but prob would be easier to swap them out. Unless you are familiar with ring and pinion set ups pay someone...

    Jeep died today :(

    Check your oil for water in it, it'll look kinda milky. If that's the case you could have overheated it to the point it blew a head gasket or worse yet cracked a head. Also check your antifreeze as it could have gotten too low.

    Cherokee pics. Lets see your rig

    When I ran 35s I had it in the stock location with a few modifications. Now it stays in the bed of my tow rig or on the trailer.

    Older F150s and Broncos but it'll make it ride like a tank.

    leaf spring lift blocks...tell me what you think

    Most people will say not to use them because they cause axle wrap and can come out and even worse break. I run one that is 1.5" and is made out of solid aluminum and the solid steel ones seem fine. 3" is a little much but trucks run much bigger ones and do OK. You'll need longer u bolts and...

    How much wider? Wheels with a different back spacing could add a few inches.

    Not nesessarily a Jeep but, what differential is this? ~pic heavy~

    It's what the forum is for. With the 14b upgrades mentioned above I wouldn't think twice about running 44s on one.

    Not nesessarily a Jeep but, what differential is this? ~pic heavy~

    IH used the 6 lug versions in ton trucks. Buddy has one he's restoring that is a dually, mid 60s I think, and like jps4jeep said they are an excellent axle. The 6 lug pattern is a bit of an odd one but wheels can be found.

    Not nesessarily a Jeep but, what differential is this? ~pic heavy~

    That my friend looks like an Eaton. Would it by chance be a full float axle? Chevy used them for a while as did IH both in tons. They are stronger than a D60 and about the same as a 14 bolt.

    a little help please

    I've found you can tap on the arm and sometimes it helps loosen the tie rod end. When all else fails BFH.
