I dog my jeep offroad and I have 30 in front and 35 in the rear. Was running 4.10 and Detroits
Installing 4.56 gears sunday and even with the 4.10 it never once failed me.
People will dog d30 and d35 but to each his own. Mine run great and wheel just as good as the next guy

your 30 will last on 33s. just get the 297 u-joints. you might want to look into a chrysler 8.25, Dana 44, or Ford 8.8 for the rear though.

Thanx for the info. I have looked at the 8.8 but isn't it not a direct bolt on just have to cut and reweld the leaf spring mounts? Either whatever I do I'm gonna beef it the hell up cause I plan on abusing it or at least have a decently strong drivetrain. Id go with those rcv axleshafts I hear good things but pricy has hell
