Anwering the question, try it sometime.

The Dana 30 is really being stressed with anything over 33". Even with chromo Shafts your pushing it. If he plans to run 35 or bigger he's going to need lots of spare parts like extra shafts, balljoints, even a spare ring and pinion.

Well thanks sorry for the spell check I was at dinner with my gf an friends. And ya I just keep telling him that he needs to take in consideration that a Dana 30 is a week link in a Cherokee.

got a friend with 35's and chromo shafts, no issues with the 30.

he has a 35 in the rear and it was fine too with a super 35 kit. he runs rubicon once a year and many local black diamond trails.

key is Throttle control!

I've had good luck with mine. 35s and locked. Holds up good. I don't beat it too bad but it gets a good work out every few weekends.
