What size tires are you going to run & what kind of use are we talking about.
Oh yeah, I'm running "Eagle 589's" on my rig, if you use hummer rims you'll be narrower.

 

[LongHorn]

Heavy Duty is generally better.

37's and a trail rig that will drive on the street to the trails.

for the rear, get a low pinion if you want the gears stronger, a high pinion if you are going have pinion angle problems

 

[RAWDOG]

how would i know if i was going to have angle problems. I am using 4" yj springs on a soa setup but dont have any of the parts yet. You think i would have a problem?

App. 9" of lift on a CJ5 . Yea your going to have problems.

 

[RAWDOG]

i think ford is the only d60 that has the high pinion. Or could i cut and re clock it?

Because I've own & modified a MB, multiple CJ 2A's, multiple CJ5 's, A CJ7 , A Wangler & a CJ8 . Also i have helped many others modify their rigs.
It comes with experience.
I've seen plenty of mechanical abortions on the road & trail, I'm shocked some of these guys live.

Check out the driveline angles on that bad boy!

Ford made a Hi Pinion D 60 front axle only, you'll have to do more than re-clock it.

To use it in front you'll have to find a different Transfer Case because the Ford have the pumpkin on the wrong side.

If you need some Hummer rims the 100 dollar man has military Hummer beadlocks for $60...

that jeep is so gay

 

[RAWDOG]

so you think stock yj or 2" lift springs on the soa setup

Yeah it has many issues, but I was trying to illustrate what SWB & to much lift can do to driveline angles.

 

[LongHorn]

I would go with Rubicon Express reverse eye springs O" lift.
You should get 5.5" to 6" of lift & that's a lot on a stock wheelbase CJ5 .
