93 what page... im kinda intrested in it my self but theres no link...

and 89 have you thought about 31's? itll give you more room to flex and then you wouldnt really have to worry about swapping axles.. i know the jeep im driving now has 31's and itll go alot of places that trucks with 6 inch lifts and 33+ tires cant go cause they get stuck...

ive ran 33s on the d35 NOT locked for the last year. 16,000 miles and 4 moderate wheeling outings and still holding strong. have broke the u-joints on the d30 though. switch to 97+ axles and hd u-joints and seems fine so far

im sure he is talking 8.8. it is the write up section. you can buy one for 100-150$. if you can weld its about $150 to install it. $30 for flange adaptor. and you gain disk breaks
