You can easily get a 29 spline 8.25 that will bolt in[/QUOTE said:
So that would would be alot stronger than than my Super 35 kit with an axel truss for my 33's?I'm trying to keep the cost down.How much would the 29 spline 8.25 cost? Plus a locker, gears, install kit, and paying someone to do the work.I can get my Super 35 Trussed for at the most 400.00, and I have someone that said they'ed help me truss it for basically the cost of materials.
If you already have the Super 35 kit then stick with it and get it trussed and just watch it as to not beat on it to bad you should probably be o.k. For the people that want to upgrade their stock dana 35, ditch it and get a 29 spline 8.25, xj dana 44, or ford 8.8 in that order depending on needs and ability to swap it in. I have a xj 44 that I bought with 4.56 gears and a full detroit locker, but if I were to get an axle based on availabilty and what you get for your money (bang for the buck) it's hard not to build the ford 8.8 from a 95'+ explorer. A big plus is the 31 spline axles shafts and awesome big disc brakes. Many aftermarket axle makes offer the ford explorer disc brakes on their axles as an upgrade like Currie and others. You can also carry a few extra shafts if you should blow the big 31 spline ones, they are readily available at bone yards. I like my xj 44, but I wish I would have done up a ford 8.8 oh well, I have a pair of shafts for it if it blows and you can get alloy shafts from the manufacturers of them (Superior, Yukon etc) by getting ones for the TJ dana 44 which has the same dimensions.
