The Sky kit is a good kit. I was debating on getting one, but got the materials to make my own for free. And the Fabworx kit is more like $2300 IIRC. Not inless they drastically lowered the price.

If i wanted to stay half ton and 6 lug would the FULLSIZE jeep front axle work. I.E. gladiator pickups grand waggys and old cherokee chief.
I only want 35-37" tires and no hardcore wheeling.

I think they Jeeps are narrow, SUA, and pass drop. The last not a big deal if your changing your t-case. Not 100% sure on the width, but I know the Grand's are 62" WMS, too narrow for a full size.

the jeep axles are narrow, but they are 6 lug. 80's are drivers drop, 70's are pass drop. your best bet is using a ford axle with chevy/jeep outers to get the right width. FYI the jeep axle is common for mid size swaps like s10's and toyotas.
