I was just wondering if the dana 30 low pinion or high pinion has stronger axle shafts because i have both to choose from. I thought i read something about one having a bigger ujoint or something. Any help greatly appreciated

What years?
The '96 (or '97) axles shafts will have the larger u-joints.
Other than that upgrade there both equal in strength.

Yep should be.
There is alot of different talk as to when the u-joints were upgraded.
I know TJ's started out in '97 with the larger ones and the YJ got them in '95 but as for the XJ I've been told it was either '96 or '97.
Hope all this helps you out..

Oh alright, I've never seen a 2000 with a high pinion or read that it switched mid year like the 8.25 did.

297X u-joints were introduced in ABS equipped XJ's in 91 and they can also be found in ZJ's as well.
FWIW, the ABS tone rings do not need to be removed for non-ABS applications.

Wasn't the 297 joint replaced with the stronger 760 joint in 96 or 97?? I have XJ shafts from a 98 in my 97ZJ and they have the 760 joint. When getting shafts from IRO, they recommend replacing the 297 with the stronger 760 joint.
