hey guys just like the title says im doing both of my front axles on my 01 grand cherokee limited v8 qudradrive. i found the axles for a nice price and was just wondering what else should get replaced with theses like is there seals? i am going to be installing new hubs as well along with shocks "bilsteins" springs "eibach" sway bars front "edelbrock" rear "addco" and new drilled slotted rotors all the way around. I allready have drilled all the way around but they are warpped allready in less than a year warped like bad. So to fix this i am going with a more aggressive drilled and sloted design. was thinking about getting a 70mm tb also with a dynomax super turbo setup would you guys say yeah or nay to that one? thanx for the help

How about upgrading to Akebono calipers while your at it.... also dont forget to get anti-seize for the new hubs your installing, I replaced my old one and it was a pain to remove, I had to use a 3 prong puller on one side cause the rust baked in it.

ok was thinking about just slotted also ill give them a try. and i allready have the twin piston akebono's lol i have a lead foot and a hard stop, wife does too i thought her to drive so she drives like me. wich is a really good thing i consider myself a awsome driver :). anyway is there anything else that should get replaced with the axles? i think i saw somewhere there was a seal just want to make sure i get all before i rip into all this. thanks for the replys keep em coming.
