Since I know every single one of you have an opinion on this I am going to open up the discussion, although I am sure I'm not the first person to ask this. I currently have a solid high pinion dana 30 with open diff from an 86 wagoneer, also a dana 30 high pinion with posi-lock installed where vacuum disconnect was and welded spiders 3.55 gears from an 1988 cherokee. Out back I have a 27 spline Chrysler 8.25 with a lock-right locker installed. My long term plans are 35" tires and selectable lockers. I am currently running 32" BFG KM2 m/t's. I know that my chrysler axle is wimpy and would never hold up to 35" tires, the question is do I roll with a junkyard ford 8.8 with disc brakes and LSD or do I switch out the internals of my chrysler 8.25 for 29 spline axles and carriers/gears or do I pick up a junk yard dana 44 from an xj with drum brakes? Also do I keep the dana 30 up front? Which one? and will it hold up to 35" tires with a locker? Or do I switch it out for something else? What is the closest direct replacement for a dana 30 on the front of an XJ? What requires the least amount of modification and has the most strength? Or do I spring for the Super 30 kit with locker. Any opinions with reasoning would be wonderful! I need something to hold up on the trail, I don't do a whole lot of rocks but do on occasion, I spend a lot of time doing hill climbs and mud holes and smaller technical rock trails. I am a shadetree in that I have a 220V welder that I can hold my own with and can do all the regearing on my own. Thanks 4 Your help!
