actually not trak loc, im going to run a mini spool. I wanted a full spool but the c-clip eliminators and axles cost more than I want to dump in it right now

small update currently waiting on parts for the rear end, decided to go with the full spool, c-clip eliminators, 4340 chromoly axles, I guess from all my research I cant bolt my zj calipers to the 8.8 brackets and just use ford rotors, traction bars, switching back to 3.55 gears and im throwing new synchros and bearing in my ax-15

just using those bolt on Lakewood ones, not sure yet im still thinking about welding up a bracket and putting in links like the explorers have but for 55 bucks and bolt on the Lakewood bars seem like a better choice for my lazy side
