You can always do a super35 upgrade which will give you 30 spine axles and a locker. I plan on stickng with my D35 at least till an 8.25 comes along that's not $300+...

 

This is largely subjective depending on how you plan on using your rig and your driving abilities.

If this is primarily for street use, you may be fine.
Lite fire roads, snow, etc, you may be fine.

Beyond the above, driving skills tend to become more important.
I personally wouldn't recommend it, but there are folks that are very successful at doing this .

your homeboy is driving a timebomb. probably in more ways than one

the TJ guys love that kit, but i think its worthless. the D35 has a ****ty housing that flexes to hell and i dont care what kinda moly shafts you have, 3800 lbs flexing it will snap it.

get a D44 or 29 spline 8.25 and be done with it. the 30 will hold up fine as long as you recognize its limits

 

the tj guys like the super 35 kit because to swap in any other axle you need to get $400 worth of brackets or fab your own, so its worth it to them. to get leaf perches and shock mounts on an xj axle takes little to no money. but even if you do swap money into the 35, all you do is move the weak link around and ultimately end up with a weak ring and pinion.

 

thats what i plan on doing i want to put a 8.8 or a 9 inch in the rear but i need to do a few other things first. i dont plan on wheeling my jeep hard tell im totally done with it so most would be on the roar driving. who knows a good break line extension kit for a 98 i need new ones

 

95? chevy 1500 front hoses 98 dodge dakota rear hose.

 

if you are going to wheel, dont put money in trash/junk. Around here in wa you can find deals on whole cherokees/chevs/ford that have way better axels i just picked up a running driving 78 chev 4x4 for $100 and you just got to ask no is beter than not asking

 

Hey my homeboys rig has been the same way for over two years and the dd's it and wheels it every weekend

 

my friend was on 35x14.5 mickey thompsons for about two weeks with a 35..we were all just waiting for it to snap. hes got a 98 zj and was running 33s on the 35 for about half a year until he got the 35s. he trussed the 35 too. but now hes on an 8.8 and it cost about $450 to get brackets fabbed and welded to the 8.8. remember to match up your gears too with the new rear end. he just daily drove it on both the 33s and 35s..he wouldnt take it wheeling cause he was afraid as soon as it saw any mud or un-even terrain, it would blow up..haha

 

do most 8.8 axles have the same with as the 35 or do they need to get cut? and how about the breaks im probably just going to look for a 78 ish ford 250 and get the axles for that and take them to a shop but i would rather do my self.

width is narrower and brakes im not sure..i think you just need a little t-fitting. ill try and pull up my buddies 8.8 swap in his zj
