so I've seen a lot of info on using a zj front drive shaft in place of an xj rear drive shaft on a lifted xj but I was wondering if there is anything I could use to replace my rear drive shaft since I'm at stock height. I have an np231 and c8.25. Also I'm replacing the leafs soon too and considering 2" OME so is there anything in the junkyard for me from stock to 2"??

I'm confused, isn't a D35 stronger than a D30? I recently had my ball joints replaced, and during the alignment, they determined that my front axle is slightly bent, not bad enough that they couldn't align it or that you can tell in any way.
So I'm starting to look for a replacement front axle that is 98-99% bolt in, with little or no modification, and that's why I asked about a TJ D35. I'd love to swap a D44 or a toyota axle, but they're hard to find and tend to be pricey.
Any suggestions?
