So i use this jeep as my daily driver in college. So i use it to run over to walmart a few miles away, as well as go back home about once every few weeks, thats 300 miles away. But when i trail it i never crawl, its mostly pretty mild at most medium trails and mud. I want to throw on some 35s, but from what i hear the dana 30 sucks, and the 35 at that as well. What axles should i put in it? this is all the jeep will be used for is the trails so nothing crazy like full size, but im thinking d44 front and d60 in the rear. to ensure no breakage, and 4.56 gears. but i need to ask the professionals. i know this question has been asked a million times ""what axles to put in?" but my circumstances arent exactly the same. i have the ax15 tranny and a 4.5" long arm kit sitting on 33s now with a d30 front and d35 rear.

Nothing wrong with a 44 and 60 for a daily driver if you do it right. I would say a pair of waggy 44s would get you by. Its really up to you on how much money you want to put into it and if you are ever going to decide to go with even a bigger tire in the future. If you have your sights on a 44 and 60 for a good price then go with it. Just remember you will be alot wider if that is a concern for you. Also, as Im sure you know, this is not a bolt on affair. Expect twice as much money and time to go into this then you first figured if this is your first time doing something major like this.

30 and 29 sp 8.25/44/8.8 would be fine. The 30 up front is more than adequate for 35s for the majority of people.

D35 with 35" tires bad idea. That axle is not even worth regearing

Big David

He isn't.



Dana 30 open & even locked will handle 35's,so will 8.25 (29 spline),44 & 8.8 also.

I'm on a college budget that's the problem. I need something that won't break out on the trails. Never gonna go bigger than 35s on this project.

I would do 30 and a 44 then if you are on a budget and 35s is the max you will run. I have a 44 for ya over here in Yakima. Needs a rebuild.

29 spline 8.25 would be the cheapest.

It doesn't matter what you're running or how deep your pockets are. Wheel with a brain and know your rig's limits and you'll avoid breakage.
