Sand, if anyone was thinking that swapping axles out of a TJ in favor of something better was a "bad idea", that was a huge missunderstanding on your part. I've been swapping axles out of TJs for better axles for the last 8 years as well as axle/engine and tranny swaps in jeeps for the last 18 years.

The swap you did is an ok swap, the EB axles this fellow wants to use are a bad swap no matter how it is done.

By the way, you said you used the old D30 inner and outer knuckles? Why, that swap is putting weak ass parts on in favor of d44 proven knuckles that allow the ability of strong internal lock out hubs and 19 spline beefy stub shafts. all to keep 5 on 4.5 wheel pattern. ICK.
