Speaking of axles  ;D   

Another option is a toyota 8" you can find them for cheap and they are pretty dang strong. If i remember right i think most are 30 spline. You can truss and box them the same as a 9" also.




Also heres the reason im not a big fan of factory jeep axles  ;D

Also this just shows what was mentioned earlier about some axle tubes being pressed in and plug welded. This was one of them. So be sure and weld the tube if thats the case.

spec just saw this thread! I don't know how I miss so many threads. those pics I posted a while back say it all down to the tractor exhaust caps. keep it cheap, functional, reliable as best as possible (or really light so us sand rail guy can pull you back  ;) ;) ;) and UGLY!  that way you'll feel good about personality dents  ;) ;D. that is what I like most about those pics of that truggy, had a little style but simple through and through! just go with what you got in the yard bolt it together, build the frame and do you best to make the atv shocks work for now until you can afford air bags like we talked about. that truggy will be a blast no matter what! I was thinking about using the axle off the '85 southwind motorhome we have been parting out! it's a dully but what the hell! I would blend in real well at syrahole party's right  LMAO rofl what is really sad is I gave away a 3/4 ton 87 chevy frame with both axles a little over a year ago because I didn't want to stack more crap out in my feild! wish I would've kept them now.

ok spec! I know you like to open specs trading post from time to time and no I don't have any chickens or goats on the table  ;D what I have is a set of air springs that I believe would do the trick more than enough! you have a motor we talked about in exchange! what do you think? I took pics of the part #'s so you can look them up and yes they are brand new never been bolted down! the big plates go with them. I believe these with your shocks should make for a smooth ride or at least as smooth as you back will let you get. ;)  the little bags pn# is AS 4509
