How about a thread that talks about the different axles and parts for them....

I have an 88 and now I know it comes with Dana 35 rear and 30 front.
What can I do to them?
What other axles will fit and are best for my XJ..?

 

curious. is a d35 less likly to break with a 4 banger?

what is a truss? whats it for ?

 

Truss is to keep the housing itself from flexing. A 4 cylinder will break a 35 just like a 6 cylinder. I've seen Dana 35s with super 35 kits live on 35 inch tires locked with a truss. The housing is the main weakness.

 

There are approximately 500 threads with "AXLE" in the title.
Use the search function and you'll find everything on this forum that you are looking for.

yea...search

 

So if I just truss up my axle then I can go pretty far on that?

I do some snow wheelin so I was thinking of getting a locker for my 88....

Good or bad??

 

Is there one thread that has all the axles and the mods that you can do to each one? If so point me there... Cause I have been searching and I have found a lot of stuff. But its not handy when I'm searching for parts.......

 

don't waste your money on building up a d35.

 

Ok.


Found the axle identification page.

get a 97-01 8.25, or a D44 from an XJ, then lock that, or an 8.8 and weld new brackets to it.

or swap front and rear D60's/D44's ect based on your fab skills and needs.

all mods are pretty much the same for any axle, gears ,lockers ,alloy shafts, disc conversion, truss', ect.
