does anybody know anything about the Dana Super 35 kit? thinking of getting one, and yes, I have considered a used Chrysler 8.25 or Dana 44. just don't know if I wanna buy somebody else's headache with used internals and no locker, or upgrade my own axle to new internals and a 31 spline shafts that are the same size as Dana 44 or 60. and super 35 comes with OX cable locker.

A used C8.25 axle that you rebuild and add a locker to, would cost about the same as a Super 35 kit and be stronger.

Tural

really? cause JP magazine gave the Super 35 a good review. and I thought it could be a good alternative. I don't dog my XJ any, might hit a trail or two very lightly. do u think it would be ridiculous to spend money on Super 35 instead of rebuilding a c8.25? because jp said it will have a strength of a 44, I think.

For the price of a Super 35 kit you can add a locker to and buy a 8.25..

Tural

well, as I said though, i'm not sure if i wanna buy somebody else's headache. at least i know my 35 is in great shape.

sounds like you've made up your mind already....

Tural

absolutely not honestly. i just wanna know a real alternative. my buddy bought a great c8.25 setup that would even save him money because they already had a 4.10, but the housing cracked not 2 months later, right at the axle tube. somebody had done twisted the everlivings out of that axle. you just don't know what you're getting with used parts. as i said, at least i already know that my turdy fives are in great shape.

ya true that. just sounds like your only other choice is an axle swap, which you dont sound to keen on, unless you get the axle from under a jeep you know. and JP has the time to tinker with **** like this, so if they say the Super 35 kit is stronger or as strong as the D44, it probably is... id almost just say save yourself the headache and get the Super Turdy Five kit...

or u could buy a dana 44 for 75 bucks

tannerp89

where da hell is a Dana 44 for $75?? and the OP doesnt want someone elses headache so...kinda rules that one out...cause a D44 for $75 HAS to have something ****ed up.

dana 44 for 75 bones SOLD! this is probably from a full size axle? I too am considering a 35 upgrade. dersert rat offroad has a kit for 899 with axles bearings and diff. locker Detroit. I dont think its to bad of price. I am more looking into the Aussie locker and the alloy axles myself just waiting on money!

tomcarey88

or nothing is wrong with it .....so far i bought it from some rich kid who blew his engine.....second he thought it wuz a d 35....so i got a d3o an a d44 for 150 bucks....an its from a xj

tannerp89

holy ****! way to benefit from someone's ignorance....send the next dumb, rich kid my way so I too can **** him and have a D44...

tomcarey88
