Looking to swap axles from a 74 GMC 3/4T into my 98' Wrangler. Does anyone know of a company that manufactures any or all of the brackets (control arms, coil spring holders, steering ect). Any advice or tips from experience would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

GM 3/4 ton? That would be a 14-bolt, right? What kind of engine are you running? Just the stock 4.0L? Seems like a little overkill for an otherwise stock drivetrain. Jeff, your thoughts?

Well, it is a little overkill BUT if you want to build the Jeep so you're not breaking axles then it's a good way to go about it.  It will also keep the door open for an engine swap later on.

I'd love to run Dana 60's with my 2.5L.
