I bet you'll find the answer to your issue here: http://77cj.littlekeylime.com/web_rs44.html I used it when I built mine.. Hope it helps

I'd like to see some more pics myself. I built a swingout carrier for mine and when hooked up to my Jeep trailer it can be a major pain in the rear to get in the back when something breaks. This might be something to look at down the road assuming it continues to hold up as well as it has for...

Happy to hear that your busy. I understand. This weekend I wish I had a rear winch would have been alot easier..... I guess if I want it that bad I'll have to get out the plasma and welder....

Webdog, been awhile any news on this? Are you still planning to build these?

That's sweet. Politics in the workplace suck. Been there done that. Never looked back....

I haven't looked at mine since I installed it a year ago. It's not a dd but dang those things are clogged like crazy. I'm gonna have to check mine out before the next trip. I had no idea they would clog so fast...

Yep, beautiful trail. Take your time and don't rush there are some nice vistas along the way.

I pay 75.00 a year for mine...

As long as you tow with the trailer level it doesn't matter. I've seen it done both ways. Personally I would do the front...

Money sent thanks again guys!

Peace of mind is how I look at it. I'd rather be overkill then just getting by...

Your wrong sorry man. Who is the mfg? I let the facts speak for themselves. Check out any DOMESTIC axle mfg web site and then you will be informed. That's why I posted a link to dexter. They are the industry standard. If there was 5200 5 lug axle then you would have 5 lug wheels with that...

Once again you are mistaken. Yes you can go heavier on the axle tube but it does not increase the capacity of the axle. The weak link is still the small spindle which is still 3500 lb rated. Not like I haven't been in this business for the last 16 years or anything...:gee:

You are mistaken sir, there is quite a difference between the two. The components are not interchangeable. You can have 6 lug on a 3500 lb axle also. www.dexteraxle.com will clear anything up for the op.

The wheel bearings on the 3500# are alot smaller then your 5200# axles... Pull it apart first to see what is needed. A complete brake assembly can be had for 75 bucks (domestic) import can be had for 40 bucks... If replacing axles go with dexter be carefully with the import guys...
