Here are a couple of KJ SFA swaps:

This one will be insane once done: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB...p?f=73&t=74050

And here is a listing of all SFA Liberty builds: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB...p?f=73&t=39256

The second link above for the KK is awesome! I will be watching that build with great interest...

I know this guy personally - http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB...ic.php?t=32570

Great rig, but now that he sold it its being beat to the ground. Shame.

Question: Say you do SAS with a D44, done up right and run 35s, what gears would you put in and how would you regear the rear axle?!? Also assuming someone as myself has QDII which would render itself useless, how would you get the computer to act right when wheeling?

[Matt]

Id put a D44 in the rear as well.

Us QDII guys would be in trouble. A 2010 hemi QTII would be ideal..

From what Ive seen a good D44 built right, which it should be is around 1500-2k??? so times that by 2?? Is there anyway to keep the rear axle? Or swap out the 12 bolt for a 10 bolt and lock it. but then still no gears..?? Then what about Tcase?? And computer? Seems like 10K+ easily..

[Matt]

Find a wrecked 2wd xk with a d44 rear and use that. Infinitely more gearing/carrier options.

Tcase and trans are fine. Computer is fine (for qti and qtii)

Yes it will be a very expensive build.... youre not gonna SAS a commander for cheap. Done smart, I think it would be under 10k though.

Consider superlift+rcv axles+gears = $6ish... and thats theoretical since we can't regear... so its not completely unreasonable.

[Matt]

Hmmmmm, would probably have to disable the stability control due to steering angle differences (like putting a wk rack in an xk lol)

I would put a D44 or better in the rear.

You do realize that swapping a Dana 44 in the rear would be pointless and a waste of money right. Our axles have a ring gear of 8.25 and a Dana 44 has a ring gear of 8.50

Well unless the Dana 44 was given to you for free!
