If your just running 30x9.50 no need for new rims. I say go with aussie locker, unless you have a D35. No need to waste your money on that. You would be better off upgrading to a D44 or 8.25 29spline with the money. In which case I have a locked 8.25 29spline I'll sell for less than the price of a new Aussie.

It's welded so it works just like a spool. Axle has been rebuilt with new seals and has 3.55 gears. Also comes with new brakes. I'm selling the whole axle for 200 obo. You can always bolt up my locked rebuilt one and sell your old one. You can probably do that then turn around and still by the wheels for less than the price of the aussie.

You can get 5 cragar wheels from summit for 200$ as to only getting 4 on ebay. I would look into shipping tho ebay may be a better deal if you factor that in

I prefer 4wheel parts when they are on sell, usually cost 200 bucks or less for a set 5 rockcrawlers, no shipping cost with in store pick up.

i'd go for rims and tires first. then get yourself a locker. good tires will get you through more than small wheels and a locker.

you can start with those rims. look for a set of used 15x8s. guys will upgrade to 10 inch wide rims when they go larger tires, so 15x8s are everywhere.
