rdtj said:I might have already asked this but does anybody know where I can get some brackets for a Ford 9" where the price isnt outrageous? I didnt expect the brackets to be the most expensive part of the rear end!!!
thanks in advance!!!
Sorry I have nothing to say but was wondering since a 9 is really really strong what tires are you getting?
Its goin in my 97 TJ. Im using the stock syle suspension, nothing customized or fancy. I tried ballistic but I dont know which ones to get and there customer service wont really tell me much. I gues there just to used to people doin 3 links and stuff like that.
right now im running 36.3 inch gateway bias buckshots
I would post a picture but i dont know how!! hahaha

if your looking for something identical to what is stock on the rear, your going to have to pay some money for it, simply due to the amount of time and engineering in the piece, all you reall need is a pair of capturing coil buckets and some link brackets, the stock rear tj suspention is a 4 link with pan hard bar I believe when you pull out the old, take some really good measurement the re-build with new stuff.
Buy this, it's on sale and make it fit a 9", you'll just have to grind some of the axle mounts out, the 8.8 is 2.5" tube, the 9" is I think 2.75" tube
Jeep TJ axle swap for Ford 8.8

To add, did you call Balistic, I've been doing business with them for years, know some of the people that work there, customer service is top priority for them for the past year or so after they got a bum rap for have crappy shipping practices.
I find their customer service is very comprehensive now.
same for ruff stuff, if you call and speak with Dan, he'll get you what you need. Me personally I would prefer to business with them (balistic or ruff stuff) or East Coast Gear Supply, not a huge fan of more offroad.
a quick search of balistics site and I think these are what you would use on the rear of the TJ, youwoul dneed to source the upper link tabs and pan hard mount seperate I think.

I posted this question on another forum and some guy told me that was for the front end. I thought it was for the rear and ballistice hasnt emailed me back and it's been 3 days.
