what to do? forget about polishing a turd and do an 8.8 swap.

Look for a 97+ C8.25 easy swap, you don't want ABS when your offroading anyway. I just did the D35 to C8.25 swap last weekend super easy, the biggest issue that I have is the need for a T-case drop and axle shims to smooth out the vibes at 60mph

buy the super30 instead and swap out the rear with either xj d44, c8.25 or ford 8.8. (xj44 or 8.8 ideally) i think i've read somewhere they are out of cheap lockers for the 8.8...

the 8.25 is the hot setup imho for 35s and down...i have done a few... order yourself some 5/8" ubolts and make sure you get the spring top plates for the 8.25 as the axle tube is alot bigger..... and bolt it in no bs...

I agree with everyone else, I wouldnt put a dime in a D35

go with an 8.25 or an 8.8 if you can weld

A locker will blow the turd up.

its not worth the $1100+ price tag when the tubes can bend easier than a paper clip

i bought and biult a Ford 8.8 out a 96 ford explorer for $1300 including 4:88 gears and Eaton E Locker. The install was pretty easy. took about 5 hrs. Best upgrade Ive done.

X2 8.25 would probably be the easiest but the weakest out of the 3. If you want strength you could just go with a 14BFF.
