Topic: fzj80 vs. 9"

[dune_it86]

which is stronger a currie or diamond 9'' front axle VS. an FZJ80 front axle, they will be on a light buggy with a vortec 4.3 and i will have cut 38.5 boggers the rear axle will be based of of the front axle choice. I would also like to know if the FZJ axle is the stronger of the 2 what is the best way to locate one. thank you all please add lot of

The FZJ80 still uses a 8" ring and pinion. You can have a diamond axle built to many configurations so I don't even think it is a question. Have you even looked into diamond axles cuz if you did you would know that you can get D60 outers

you can get 60 outers on the currie axle aswell but the currie is only 750.00 and the diamond is 1250.00 i think currie has my vote thank you i thought that the fzj was a beefy @$$ mofo but i have broke the 8'' ring and pinions befor w/ 4cyls

9 inch is stronger.

Diamond axles are on backorder..bigtime...use a FZJ-80..that way you get a high pinion and an e-locker. I am using one in my build.

The fzj80 has the cool factor, but you also have to consider steering. Setting up a good and more importantly, strong steering is kind of a pain in the ass. Trust me on that one. The 8" in that front would hold up better than other 8's up front since it's reverse cut and you would be running on the drive side of the gears, but if you want bullet proof i'm not sure it's the answer.

steerin is goin to be a custom hysteer because the 9'' front will have 60 outers so hysteer would be easy , and i am lookin for indestructable, and i can also get hipinions for a 9'' probably e lockers too bu i dont know i have too plan this build for the future and around my fight schedule

I was refering to the steering on the fzj80 front. I think you're on the right track though, the custom built 9" running gear is going to be stronger and easier to setup in the long run.
If you want really cool you could run these.............
