Without fab work use a d30, you can make them pretty strong with chromo axles, but if your fabbing you will need upper and lower brakets, a truss, spring perches, track bar bracket, shock tabs. And that's a d44. If I were you I'd just do a d30 and if you felt you needed it chromo axles, but to do a full on swap it will cost some coin, and that's if you know how to fab stuff up, and if you don't it will cost that much more

 

Ik thanks. And this is a noob question but which one is stronger the 30 or 35? I can't remember

 

Rotflmao!!! A 30 is a front axle a 35 is a rear, if your gonna upgrade the rear do a 8.25 its an easy upgrade and a much stronger axle than the 35, what year is your xj anyway? It might already have the 8.25

 

My xj is a 99 and whoops lol

 

ive got a 8.25 that is welded and has newish brakes......

 

thats a rear axle just so you know newb.

 

O thanks man didn't realize

 

It would be a good upgrade from a 35. It has 3.55 gears if you are serious ill sell it. make an offer. itll be sitting on the side of the garage before too long.

 

Is it a direct swap? If so my low ball offer would be $125 what is your counter?

 

Wtf

 

ill take your offer and yes its a direct swap. I think the only difference is in the e brake cables? not too sure.

 

Lol!

 

Well how long u gonna have it available for? I can't get it for probably a few weeks.

 

Also it is my dd and I'm a little hesitant if it is welded. Also if it is welded can the gearing be changed or no?

 

Lol Nathan check dilholes post in what did you do thread lol
