yep, thats right im kinda stuck in my XJ HEEP build...
its a 95' with 4.0, aw4, np231 (crown SYE installed) with Dana 30 in front, Dana 35 for the rear
i just installed the IRO 6.5" Crtical Path Long Arm lift kit
the problem is the rear end with the driveshaft choices...
the factors/facts im facing with now
-dana 35 is weak
-my driveshaft is just inches to fit the axle (with front driveshaft in back with SYE)
-lengthen the driveshaft will cost about $150 or get new one for about $200
-the XJ came with 3 different axles, D35, D44, Chrysler 8.25 axles
-D44 is expensive and rare but strong and more longer pinion so driveshaft could fit then without lengthened
-C8.25 also is strong but cheap and plentiful. and uncertain will fit with driveshaft without lengthening
-D35 i have now is c-clip. also can be found picked up cheap too.
-if i want to upgrade to either C8.25 or D44 id have to make sure i get it with gear ratio of 3.55 so i dont have to regear the front
-if i can get stronger axle for price of $150 and didnt need to modify the driveshaft, which is a bonus than modify the driveshaft then later i bent the D35 or who in god knowassgas:
another thing, i have Dana 44/60 combo that came out of 77-79' F.250 so i dont really want to throw much $ in the current set-up. i want a set-up that will work at least for a year.
btw im running some alloy wheels and 34x9.50 TSL swampers
also this jeep is trail rig, trailer queen BTW
help me to make a effectively decision...! :confused1
