If he is breaking all those axles, he needs to get a different rig! The least expensive way to go would be a one ton GM, that way he gets a D/60 front that can be upgraded with 35 spline outers and a 14bff rear. About as tough as it gets without going to Rockwells.

I would find a Ford half ton pickup(1970s-1980s) with a Ford 9in rear and Dana 44 front. That 44 front will have the drivers side front you need and will be a heavier duty Dana 44 that what is put in Cherokees stock. That combo should be cheap, only slightly wider, and tough. Then if you break those, you should consider upgrading to 3/4 or 1 ton axles.

he broke a d30/44 on 39" tires hmmmm. sounds like he needs to make smarter decisions and he'll be fine. he shouldnt have been running over 35s. there no need for rockwells with 39s. a 60/14b would be perfect.

231 can be beefed up to take a beating. an atlas is gonna cost an arm and a leg. its rare that find em used for cheap. could build a dana 300. thats also a passenger drop tc so then you have more axle options.

Or you could get a one ton GM and run a 60/14bff and have the 205, about the strongest, if not the strongest OEM transfer case out there.

im not worried about the t case i like the 39's there good for the ruts where i live if i get that ford d44 from the front the upper control arm is casted into the diff and is it the right size for the rough country x flex arms. this guy i meet over here has d44's front and rear out of a wagoneer i think i would just break them he wants 700 with a hi steer knuckle. still the driver side upper control arm mount i cant weld to the cast i would have to a frame it i guess?

35's are to small i had them befor i was always stuck bigger tires the better!

Go for d60 front and rear. 39's are a bit much for a 44 depending on how you wheel.

A D44 is maxed out at 37's... I would go with the D60 front and 14Bff rear. or if you find a rear 60 that would be ok as well. but i think a 14Bff is better...
