If i'm gonna go to the expense/effort to do a SAS (solid axle swap), why not do it right?  For a used axle, i would think the cost difference would be minimal (except maybe in locker/gears).  And i would NEVER break it till I'm running 45"s!

Seabee_BUC:
Spend the $1500 per axle and go buy the mopar Dana 44's they put on the JK's. Cut the brackets off and put the TJ brackets on it($350 for the whole  kit) and you will have D44 with 4.10 ratios AND selectable lockers!!! Front and rear for about $3500 or so...

Don't forget you will need 5 new rims, which require mount and ballance.  JK's are 5 on 5 bolt pattenrs and TJ, XJ, ZJ, YJ etc.. are 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. So it's more like $4K, still not bad.

Swagger:
check dis out.  So, dynatrac has teamed up with mopar, and they are now selling JK spec d44's prebuilt to drop in to TJ's. Direct bolt in application.
