2006 KJ Liberty Solid Front Axle Conversion[/caption] Here's an update to our Day 1 post on our KJ Liberty project, in which we're doing a Solid Front Axle Conversion ( SFA ) with a High Pinion Dana 44 front with 4.56 gears, 30 spline alloy shafts and an Ox Locker.  While we're at it, Scott, our customer, is having us do a Dana 44 rear to match.  Originally out of an early XJ Cherokee with the trailer package, this axle has been built with 33 spline shafts, matching 4.56 ratio, and a matching Ox Locker.  Scott's Liberty is running Fox Coilovers in the front, OME coils  and Bilstein shocks in the rear.  Rounding it out is a Clayton Long Arm kit, a Bronco II steering box, a U-turn cross-over steering kit, and LOTS of great looks! Video of Kevinsoffroad.com 's Solid Front Axle Conversion on a KJ Jeep Liberty We're going to do a build sheet with all the parts needed for this build.  When we're done, we'll have laser-cut brackets for sale on our website, which will bolt right in to the KJ Liberty frame rails, and will completely replace the front sub-frame assembly, leaving mounts for a track bar and a steering box, so that other KJ Liberty owners will be able to have a MUCH easier go of it when THEY want to do a solid front axle conversion.
