What kind of rear axle do you need for a 1970 J20?
If you can find one, if you can get a 1970-ish J20 rear, it has a WMS of a mid size (65″) and comes in a non C-clip 35 spline axle with 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern. A strong stock axle wiht a reasonable bolt pattern and not too wide. Just need to find a front to match. Its a good option if its available.
Can a J20 be run on full width tires?
They also run Dually axles because the width can be as little as 63″ and they can run the axle stock on 40″ tires for $150 out of a junk yard 😉 I don’t beleive any effort to convert the MJ/XJ to full width is worth the effort. The rear dana 60 on the J20 is still 30 spline (the same as our Dana 44s).
Can a J20 axle be upgraded to 35 spline?
Granted, if you don’t have a locker youre still stuck, but at least your wheel didnt fall off! Plus the opposed roller bearing setup is nice and easy to service. Later you can bore the spindles, upgrade to 35 spline and call it good, but even in stock form, it will be an upgrade for whatever came in an MJ.
