Axle Swap Parts List

[007]

Looks like I'm swapping complete axles out here soon. What all should my parts list contain?

No changes, Dana 30 up front and AMC20 in the rear (these have different gears)...

I would. I'd also get new U-joints, but that's me.

maybe???
soak the out of them for a day or two
if they hang low and threads are exposed, and those threads are banged up, then yes, most likely.

I guess in the back of my mind I was thinking pinion seal, cover seal, U-bolts. My u joints have about 200 miles on them.

The way I see it, how long the CJ u-joints last depends on how well the driveline is set up, providing you don't thrash them on the rocks. There should be no slop when you give them a shake. Hope your axle swap goes well.

Thanks folks. My setup is stock but I did check them and there tight. Very few miles on them. Great advice to check/change them nonetheless.
