    QD II conversion up front

    I just ordered a QD II front axle out of an 07 WK Hemi which ill be installing in my XK. Since my Jeep is QT II I'll basically be swapping in the QD II front differential and wiring it up so I can manually engage the front differential to serve as a locker. Once it arrives, I'll install a new solenoid, replace the axle seals and any bushings if need be. Then after install it will get topped of with Mobile 1 gear oil and LS additive. Matt confirmed that my front drive shaft will bolt right up to the QD II differential. I'm going to order two new cv axles as the drivers side is shorter with the ELSD axle and my passenger side cv boot is torn. I'm hoping to get it installed by this weekend and the will mess with the wiring from there

    If you don't mind me asking, what does a QDII diff run for these days?

    Please take tons of pics when the diff is out! I would love to see what space is available there for a SFA conversion...

    Oh and awesome score!

    It seems the axle doesn't come with axles..... is it just the QDII front differential that you ordered?

    The front differential didnt come with cv axles. I will be buying new cv axles though. The drivers side is shorter on the ELSD so I definitely need that one. But my passenger side cv boot is ripped so ill just buy both.

    It just arrived about 20 min ago!!!

    The two bushings aren't that bad but I'm going to replace them anyways.

    I ended up getting everything I needed tonight and installed the front QD II differential. Start to finish it took 2 1/2 hours to install it. Brand new drivers and passenger side cv axles, new solenoid (actuator) in the differential, and new seals. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Oh and I changed my oil in that 2 1/2 hours also
