Default quick question...

what spline are my dana 44 and dana 30? so i can start searchin gears and lockers... i thought about upgrading the inner axles also (more so in the d30) while im gearing it and locking it to save money all around on seals and crap... should i find the axles i want first and go with whatever spline they are for the gears and locker? or should i stick with whats there and just upgrade? i just want everything to match and be strong the first time... i dont want to be playing games later on... im planning to run 35's... i was also thinking about finding i think there called thick gears or something like that... so i dont have to change carriers... i would think the thicker gears would be stronger anyway and dont see why they arnt used more ofter... im also plannig to run 4.88's... thanks for the input and sorry its not as short as i thought... got to thinking and more came up... lol

I'd definitely put some stronger axles in the d30. 35's may be a bit much for the d30. You may be alright as long as you're not turning the wheels full lock and smashing the throttle.
