Default T-case strong enough?

I have a 231j tcase right now. I plan on running d60 and 14 in rear or d60 rear. Do you think my t case will be strong enough to handle the big axles on 37s?

also what does the J mean (NP231J)

If your gonna do a 60/14bff swap you might as well just build a 231/300 doubler!

Can't say I've ever heard that before. I've got a few friends running them too.

I've installed some of them and see no reason why they would leak if installed properly.

Some applications do require an additional seal.

Do a google search for Box For Rock. There's also alot of info on Pirate4x4 for anyone that wants to build a 231/231 or 231/300 doubler.
