Ok, I'm not trying to be a jerk at all, but you seem pretty new around here. I saw the thread where you were ordering a lift, so I'm assuming you are going to be putting some bigger tires on as well. If that is the case, fixing the dana 35 isn't worth the time or the money for the parts. You are going to need to upgrade anyway if you are planning to wheel. I would HIGHLY recommend upgrading now, rather than wasting your time with the d35. If you can afford it, go for a Dana 44, If money is tight though, a 29 spline 8.25 will work too. They can be picked up really cheap. You should be able to find one in working order for around $150 (maybe less) And It will be WAAAAYYYY stronger than the d35
