Default cant find a thread on rear ends...

I'm looking for a thread, because I know it's here...somewhere, on rear ends...and just how crappy my Dana 30 and 35 is. All I have heard is a 35 in the back is weak, I need to read up a little on it.

If someone could post a link here, It would be most helpful, thanks.

both axles are more then adequate for stock size tires the problems arise when people start putting on bigger tires and differnt gears and lockers. I would say that up to a 31" tire the axles are perfectly fine after that its questionable i know some are gonna say that they run 35s on them and good for them but from experience the 31 is a good tire for the axles and i have never had a problem with 31s but i did have a yj with 33s and broke numerous d35 axles so take it from there
