Serious Dana 30 gear question
Will the stock 30 carrier handle a 4.56 ring gear? I want my front and rear gears to match but I want to make sure I don't have to upgrade my front axle.

but, if your not wheeling it much than you'll have no problems with stock shafts on a DD. and plus, when you break a stock shaft their cheap and easy to replace

you dont "need" mosers. you could get any alloy shaft that you would like. nitro shafts have a lifetime warranty on shaft failure. again, i think 4.56's would suit you nice. i ran them on 35's for a while and it was a nice ride with plenty of get-up
