I am getting ready to order some Moser 1 pc axles and am wanting to verify this is the stock 80 AMC CJ5 rear end?

I know there was a place that had a comparison of the different ones but now I cant find it

There has been a lot of talk lately about rear disc brakes for that axle. Please let us know which set you're going with.

I ordered the TSM's
 
I would also change out those diff cover bolts in the AMC Model 20 while your at it. Those OEM cover bolts can be a bear to remove. Maybe install some regular hex head bolts.

Also when I installed the Moser 1 Piece Axles on my '79 CJ7 - which I no longer own - I removed the thrust block.

Thanks, I was thinking of changing the gasket too :chug:
