I have a 1996 Jeep 4.0 the factory axles are a Dana 30 HP up front and Chrysler 8.25 in the rear. Once I am done i want to have an overlander that I can daily. I'm eventual going to get locking differs and an Iron Rock 4in long arm and 4 link rear suspension kit. Since the truss in the rear needs to be welded to the axle I'm considers and axle swap since the axle will be out already or should I use the truss along with other upgrades to beef up both the 8.25 and the 30.

 

I think the 8.25 has potential.


I may eventually link mine to.
I haven't looked at what iron rock offers for the rear but do know that the stuff for the front i wouldn't buy.

 

My HP Dana 30 and Chrysler 8.25 are holding up fine with 35s.

 

Why wouldn't you buy their front stuff?
