I know most hate on the 35, but it's what I have for now, so is there any cost effective mod for any type of C-clip eliminator? I just got the parts from a ZJ for rotor swap, figure while I was in there I would change something if I could. I have heard to "sleeve" it, but I am a real Axle newb. Any thoughts? thanks

 

Ya, get a Ford 8.8 and ur done. Stronger than a 44 and discs.

 

IMO upgrading a 35 is like flushing money down the toilet....

 

You can buy a super 35 kit, but be cheaper to do a 8.8 swap or 97 to 01 c8.25 29 spline swap and put them Zj disc on it

 

I could buy about four 8.8's plus have money left over for the same price as a super 35 kit.

 

It's like polishing a terd...just go and get a c8.25 from the junk yard, even if you get a 27 spline, it's worlds better than a Dana turdy5

 

X2^^

 

so if I seek out an 8.25 , there is a difference in the 97+ via the 29 over the 27 but they both work? Also would I need anything else, I'm sure my U bolts won't work...

 

I have 2 8.25's with one going into my XJ. The U-bolts need to be larger for the Chrysler and (at least for a auto trans) the drive shaft length is slightly different.

 

As in which way ? BC at a 4" lift now if it got any shorter I would need a different setup.

 

Agreed, waste of time/money to do anything to a D35. If you do some Junkyard crawling you can get an Exploder 8.8 that already has a LSD and disc brakes.

 

X3 exactly what he said

 

i like how you actually answered the op's question while also saying what everyone else is

 

X2.....However, not all 8.8 are the same. do some research, you want LSD and the 31 spline shafts to be stronger than a Dana 44 and slightly less stronger than a dana 60. The only draw back to this axle is the "tin foil" diff cover, I replaced mine with a Solid...
