Ya, but if you read his post, he already has a 8.25, I would never recommend someone DOWN grade from what they already have. I'd run the 8.25 with 4.65 before running a Turdy five with 4.88s.Rawbrown said:Think about that one for a second. 8.25's didn't appear till 91 when Chrysler got jeep because its the same axle in the Dakota's.
Yeah GM 10bolt 14bolt combo... Thats realistic for a 4 cylinder. sure he'll never break again because hell be to busy replacing clutches from buring them up trying to move the weight of those axles.
Whats the most in-expensive solution for the gutless 4banger. everyone recomends an 8.8 or a D44. Disc brakes bla bla bla... do the math.
you can get 1541h shafts for the m35 that are 20-25% stronger than OEM. with a 31" tire thats pretty stout. add an ezlocker for a couple bucks is a good option. truss it because the m35 can flex and kill any locker. sure its not the hundreds or even $1000 of dollars that everyone is suggesting. the problem with the 8.8 is that the diff is big and hangs down a bit. same goes for the 8.25 which is a rock snagger. the D44 is good but maybe a bit overkill. the 35 can be built reliably well for the owners intended use for not a buttload of coin.
