In order to fix my "bumper-challenged" XJ... :wings:

wow...so you run 37's on a dana 30 and a 8.25...

how's longevity of parts? Are you fairly easy on the throttle? I know they're both very strong axles, but it seems like I've heard of most stopping at the 35" mark...

very cool setup.
 
Whoops... it took my Dad reminding me that I hadn't even taken pics of the XJ with the new bumpers on!

I'm pretty easy on the skinny pedal and let the 4:1 do the work. However... I just (as in an hour ago!) threw in my spare front short-side axle ofter snapping the u-joint. The only time I ever snap a u-joint is when I'm "in the stuff" with the ARB on... it's like clockwork! I get a inner/outer/hub combo for about $50 so it isn't "worth it" yet for me to go chrome-moly or grown-up diffs.:smiley_drive:
