what would you guys say about going from completely stock dana 35 w/ABs to Non C-Clip d35 with Lockrite and 4.11's for 150 dollars at my door. Is losing the ABS worth it or even possible for just the rear? or should i just buy the axle and put the stuff in mine (more expensive...gear install)?

I would just buy the new 35 and keep your old one should the locked axle fail.
$150 is a good deal.

I just bought a 31 spline Ford 8.8 with 4.10s, and disc brakes for $200.

IF your going to swap an axle, why would you go from a Dana 35 to another Dana 35. I had a NON C in my old '85 Waggy Limmited, never broke it with 33s... but still, if you're gonna swap axles do it right the first time.
You'll be happy you did.

I would also ditch the ABS. I read your's is a 94 model. You usually can find a non ABS M/C and booster out of a 96 or newer. Also if you do get the brake pedal from the donor also. Won't have to redrill. Thats a good deal on the 35 even if you have to upgrade the brakes while at it. I did my M/C and booster for $50.00 from the junkyard.

I did that swap. I took a non c-clip d35 with 4.10's from a 86 and swaped it into my 92. Pulled all the ABS stuff out at the same time since the new diff did not have ABS. I could not find a non disco , high pinion d30 with 4.10's so i picked up a YJ d30 with 4.10s. Paid 100 bucks. Sold the shafts and housing for 75. So for 25 bucks i got a D30 4.10's and carrier
