Dude, don't spend any cash on the TURDY 5 (D35). Find yourself a Junkyard D44 or 8.25 out of an XJ. Totally cheapest way to do an axle upgrade. Or even get a Ford 8.8 and have somebody weld up the perches and shock mouints. Still cheaper than spending a butt load of dough on trying to polish a turd.
