So... a set of 80's will be waiting for you when you get home or will the compass point to Disciple for an install video?
I feel very large grins emanating from you and Jeremy.

Are these actually 17 grand?
What am I missing here.

Edit: WAYALIFE video says 12k…maybe they are listed high online because of no inventory?

Okay, so roughly $12,600 for the axle. What is the cost of needed brackets to attach to a vehicle? Labor cost for lay out and welding?
That would be the final total cost for the axle. Labor to install on vehicle is a different category.

You can look at it that way but most people that are installing an 80 are typically running bigger/custom suspension and is much easier and actually cheaper to start with a bare tube with less cutting and prep work.

These are also listed for a JK/JL/JT so it’s a universal axle with each of those vehicles having different factory bracket setups so I can understand why they did this.

This ^^^

Any time we've had Moby, Rubicat or our Gladiator outfitted with DTD's, a TON of time and work had to go into cutting off and cleaning up what was on our axles BEFORE anything new could be welded on. That these come bracketless is awesome.

It comes with factory brackets. No extra cost.
