Well the search button solves all your issues...
oh yeah, re-gear, lock, and toss the 35, unless you want to open a parts stand in the middle of a trail somewhere.

Search for CRASH's write up for all your questions about that - titled "Dana 30 Tech" While you are at it read the Dana 44 Tech also. Good read!:read:

yeah thanks, i was heading out the door...you are right. if you get a mj or xj 44 go for 4.88s. 4.56s wouldnt be too bad especially if its a dd. i have 3.55 with 31s and its pretty good. going to 33s soon and will probably regear to 4.56 in time. unless i come into money to rebuild a 9" and 44.skyjackedxj96 said:

Is the Wag's front Coil Springs or would I have to fab up some stuff? How will it work with the XJ D44 Rear?IcedXJ said:

you need to know how to fab up mounts....I am not 100% sure of the tools
but a welder, torch, angle grinder, um...i think that would be about it
just need to get your measurements right..

Go find a Grand Waggy or any FS Jeep....and pull the front axle off...use the search b.c you have to some bracket for the steering I believe....Check it out...If you have the tools, and the time, you can do it.
