I'm on a Dana 30 HP front axle with a lunchbox locker and a chrysler 8.25 in the rear with a factory locker. Running 4.88 gears on 35's. I try to be easy on the gas, lol. I did truss and sleeve the front axle though.
Thread it partway back onto the stud and use an extension for leverage to wiggle the socket free, probably not the greatest way to do it but it worked. I also replaced the lug nuts afterward.
The last time I got tires for my car I had to go remove the lug nuts because the guys in the shop couldn't get them off because of this issue. I used a slightly smaller socket and hammered it on to each lug nut in order to remove them.
Kinda.... My cherokess lifted 5.5 inches on 35's with a Cavfab alpha 3 link kit, sleeved and trussed front axle, lockers and 4.88's. Lots of other suspension mods, black sheep of the jeeps. Lol
They are definitely another addictive hobby, I bounce back and forth. I'll work on the jeep and focus on. It for awhile and then take a break and focus on firearms for a while. You'll catch alot of your after market jeep goodies on sale around holiday's too, that when I picked up alot of.my parts.
I've also added lockers, swapped the rear to a chrysler 8.25 with 29 spline axles. I reageared to 4.88s. I only paid 525$ for mine originally and its been a slow project over the last two years.
