    Anyone know of sites where I can find tough axles for Jeeps? I'm looking at an axle swap in the future.

    Is it for a YJ? Chevy axles are almost a direct swap in. Craigslist. You will have to relocate the rear perches but that wouldn't be to hard.

    The person who I bought it from already did a leaf to coil spring conversation so anything about relocating something for leaf I'm not worried about

    The coil spring brings a whole new dynamic. Are you running TJ axles now? If so, east coast gear supply has good prices on axles, Dana 44 and 60s.

    I would measure the spring width and see if it is the same as as a TJ. Axles would be much easier to find and install if you could use TJ axle housings.
