depends on your future plans. if your just going 33's then its ok, any bigger get 29 spline, D44, or 8.8 for the rear...

The front D30 is ok for up to 35's. after then the D44 is a bit better, then the D60, and the rockwell. None of which are bolt in unless you get a rubicon D44.

Spartans are good for a lunchbox locker!

27 + 29 splines are C-clips.

Well, I plasma-ed off my track bar bracket, cleaned it up, welded on the new one. Then welded one ram mount onto the axle. The mount I bought with a skid on it wouldn't fit above the tie rod, it would hit when flexed... so I went with another bracket... need another ram mount. hopefully button it up this week.

But my track bar is just about perfect!
