    Is this a fair price and will these bolt up?

    Model 20
    Warn full floater kit with Warn internal hubs for flat towing, Detroit locker and set up for spring over. 4:56 gears.

    Dana 30
    Warn internal hub conversion, Detriot soft locker, Deavy duty tie rod and drag link, pitman arm. Set up for spring over or under. 4:56 gears.

    Have misc hardware, spring plate, u bolts, ect, ect

    Aprox 1000 to 10,000 miles on all parts. The housings have about 120,000 miles on them. They are off my 86 CJ7 which I bought new with 3/10th of a mile on it. So here is your chance to be the second owner of these highly sought after items..

    Pictures upon request.

    $500 for the set or will separate

    Assuming it's your '68 CJ you're talking about putting these into, they won't just bolt up. They are wide track axles for starters so the spring perches may have to be moved. Maybe not. But the killer is that the rear pumpkin is centered, so unless you are running a D20 or 300 T case you will have driveline issues. That may be addressed by using a dual CV joint rear driveline, but I'm not sure the AMC20 axle is all that desireable. Definitely not better than a 44. The price is attractive, but I'd have to pass if it were me. Just my .02 though.

    Here's a dissenting vote. There's at least $500 worth of stuff in the front axle alone. Buy them and sell the rear axle to recoup at least a portion of your money. That is, if 4.56 gears will work for what you want to do. The detroit alone sells new for $450-$500. The rear axle you should be able to get $500 out of to the right person. Have you priced a Warn FF kit lately? New good quality gears for the 20 sell for about $220, plus the detroit, etc. That's a screaming deal, at least in my area. One thing though, take a close look at the 20 housing and look for any signs of bending/leaks.
    The 30 should be a wide track but the spring perches are in the same place as the 25-27 so that is not a problem. The axle is quite a bit wider but will give you a better turning radius as the tires won't hit the springs and frame when at full lock. All other rules to installing a 30 will apply here. Nickmil.
