what would a 35x12.50xR15 be in metric?

Aspect ratio of section width to sidewall height. And 315/80R15.

You could also do a 31 spline conversion. You can get 31 spline lockers and I know G2 makes 31 spline shafts for the d30.

I have the same color and roughly the same year (88') in a 2 door and that looks so nice, I was never a HUGE fan of the bushwacker flares but now I may have to get some one day

Keep in mind I can get any type of axle for 89$ here at the local upull lol

for me it's any 4x4 rear assembly for $185. so for $100 more that 8.8 sounded worth it to me

I'm pretty damn sure that the max spline for the d30 is 30 spline. thats all Ive seen maybe I'm not looking hard enough
but like I said. no shaft upgrades for me because that moves my weak point to RP. so I'll be keeping stock shafts

I apologize it was 30, not 31.

Just out of curiousity, what makes the R&P so weak on the D30?

A good truss would help out the Ring and pinion.

It probably doesn't mean much but i will say i'm running 4.56s and an aussie locker with stock shafts in my d30 on some heavy 33s; it's rare for me to snap something. I will be going with a light 35 next go around.

I heard the km2's are pretty light and have great reviews I'm dying to get a set
