TY for the quick reponse, I'm really new to the Jeep platform tech, so to speak, most of the Vehicles I've owned have been GMs and Fords so this is really new to me lol. so are these Diffs good for off-roading or should I look for alternatives?

The Dana35 is not worth beefing up. A quick Google search will yield more negative comments than you can shake a dead cat at.

The D30 is a decent axle that can be built up to handle up to a 37" tire....if you use a
light foot on the skinny pedal.

it all depends on how hard you run it and what type of off roading you plan on doing

for a trail rig they are fine

a HP d30 will be better than a LP. when you lift it you will have a less sever driveline angle with a HP
