I would suggest putting your location about buying a front axle myself. Might be one in your area. I would imagine shipping being expensive on one. I dont have any suggestions on which brand to use.

All pro is quality. Cant go wrong there. What is your budget? There are a few companies that make axle housings if you cant find one.

Like Terry said it would be nice to know where you are ??

Shipping would be expensive.

Then till you get done rebuilding one might be cheaper to go with a new after market one.

Your budget might be cutting it close. The allpro kits is gonna lift the front quite a bit so rear will need to match. That means bigger tires which means lower dif gears. If you wheel your gonna want lockers. Bigger tires and lockers means you'll want upgrades birfields at a minimum depending on tire size. Plus long slip DS.

Got a lot to plan out. Check out marlin's forum loads of guy there from cali so might be able to find stuff local.

Take your time and build it right.

It's my daily driver, plus I have a harley, but I figured I would run stock gears and just get the axle under it and make it drivable, than slowly piece everything together over time. But I forgot about marlin crawler! Haha thanks for the reminder about them. In the Long run I want to go with ARB front and rear with 5.29 maybe dual cases not sure yet about that.

Anyone know where I can find threads on some "on board air" system. I need to air up tires, I have a A/C compressor thought about going that route. But I like the idea of have my A/C
