have you broken anything?
did you regear yet and are you locked?
just tell me how you like your 35's

Atmos

basically just want to know if I'll be breaking axle parts left and right with stock shafts and 4.88 lockrite front. rear d44
and I wanna check out your builds to see what all youve done

I never ran 35's on my dana 30 but when I was on 31's I broke u joints multiple times. It just depends how hard your going to wheel it

Gatchmo5710

I'm locked on stock gears and shafts. Nothing broke yet. Wheel hard too. My 8.25 will go first.

Atmos

then 790's it is

good to hear it gatchmo. what gears would you run if you had the chance to regear?
I've heard stuff just breaks with the 4.88 and everyone I see that has 4.88 also has chromoly :/

XJ-92

try 4.56 instead. its not as much torque

Gatchmo5710

Probably deeper because I'm going bigger. But I'm not gonna waste any more money on the 30 or 8.25

i run 35s on open 30.

never had an issue

Pistol-McGee

i ran 35" MTR's on a open 30 with 3.55's, never had an issue and i beat on it pretty hard at times.

Atmos

thats what I'm trying to decide. but it's a dd I dont think I'll be happy being undergeared. If I do 4.56 I'll end up with 33's which I'm on the fence about
locked 4.88 and 35's is maxed out for the 30
theres a slim chance for hub conversion and chromoly. but wayyy far in the future
I just dont want to nuke a shaft on every outing. does anyone run that setup on here?

Erkmed XJ

On my old wrangler i ran that set up d44 in the rear with a d30 up front ran 35s with 4.88 Yukon Gears and we could say i wasnt always the nicest to my old jeep but she took the abuse, i never had any issue or break anything for that matter. Id say that youd be fine

Atmos

yeah I'll only have enough money to do this once so I really need to get it right
if I break something big it might be game over for my jeep thing. and full width isnt an option either
so you would feel comfortable running 4.88's on your setup and still wheeling hard?

Atmos

and I dont think I'm gonna be the most hardcore wheeler anyway. just crawl until it starts hopping or reaches a limit then pull cable or bypass.
thanks for a positive review I really want that setup. did you have upgraded shafts or ujoints? locked?

Erkmed XJ

No, it was open diff and nope besides the gears and rear d44 axle everything was stock

outlawtr450

have a buddy running stock shafts and 35's with a aussie lunch box but only running 4.10's but he hasant broke any thing its manual also so you can consider alittle more tq with a clutch
