It's a kingpin axle, so no ball joints technically. And seeing as it's a Jeep....far lighter than any OEM application that axle was designed for....I'd guess the lower kingpin and the wheel bearings are barely straining, if at all. The nylon on the upper kingpin however...
 
I was thinking about all the weight from the second set of tires. With leverage being so far out all all that kinda stuff.
 
Picked up this mostly original 83 CJ7 yesterday, wheels aren't and some inside pieces are different, and a really nice shape YJ hard top, but a nice find.

How did they keep the top hatch closed without the YJ tailgate?

I smell what you're stepping in, but the reactive forces are a product of moment arm length and applied load. Even though the duals increase the moment arm significantly when point loaded at the outside sidewall like in the picture, the sprung weight of the Jeep is pretty low compared to the typical 1-ton chassis + diesel engine + snowplow combination the axle was designed to handle, so the reactive forces at the bearings or kingpins are probably still within reason. Just an assumption....
 
Some YJ(I assume earlier ones) had latches like CJ tops did.

I had to climb in the back and open the top and the tailgate... top closes, then the gate closes then youlock it.
it "can" be used, but it isn't fun getting the back closed.

I will put it up for sale and hopefully a YJ owner buys it.

I see side steps!

Yeah, they look pretty nice as well, no smashes/dents, etc.
I will get them off in a few weeks once I get some warmer weather... it has a full carpet set that has to come out first, along with the seats, etc. if I have to heat up those bolts...

I got your PM, will call after work.

I love that swing but it looks like it uses a commercially bought base which is probably not rated for the weight of that swing and 2 people. If it was made from tubing, that would be so much better. I assume it is not your swing since you find so many Jeep pictures from who knows where on the web.
