I'm also gonna considering TnT stiffeners:
T&T Customs XJ Unibody Stiffeners, TNT-TT-1013 - JeepinOutfitters

Does anyone know if there will be a problem installing the stiffeners and the JCR sliders? I'm looking at you silverzj, since you've got the sliders I want. And are the stiffeners even necessary with the sliders? Wouldn't the sliders basically do the same thing as the stiffeners?

i THINK it would be the same thing but not 100% sure...if you go for a 3.5 or even a 4.5 i myself wouldent worry about stiffners. thats just my opinion and its only cause nothing has gone wrong with my unibody

The thing is they're cheap. And if they can better the handling on/off road, as well as protect my uniframe from bending, I think it's worth it. But I'm not going to sweat it if I can't get them to both fit.

i dont see why they both wont work...just gotta drill through both the stiffners and frame

Just found a truss for the D44a. Made by Mountain Valley and it's only $145. Not bad. Just need to find them now...

So, I developed a vibration when I'm on the freeway over the weekend. And I figured the first place to look was the drivershafts. And this is what I found on my front axle.






It looks like grease has found its way out of the front diff. I'm not sure if that's related to the vibrations. But it's definitely not good. Can anyone recommend a shop for this kind of work? I have a feeling it's because my Jeep pulls to the right when I brake... which pulls the front axle out of being perpendicular with the Jeep. I'm thinking this plan is going to need to be redone. And that maybe I need to replace the suspension, axles, driveshafts, tc, steering, and everything in between.
