Anybody need an NP249 Tcase with a good viscous coupling? Pulled mine out to swap in my NP231

That makes me think I should fab up some rocker sliders on my cherokee

My passenger rocker is fine........you probably shouldn't have followed me on everything!

I love my 98 TJ. All stock, but would like to do a small lift with some 33" under it.

After researching, I have now decided I'm going to install a Superior Super 35 kit, with an ARB locker.

I'm undecided to put a front locker in.

I think I may go with 4.56's....

I do keep going back and forth between a Detroit and ARB. But for a Daily Driver, I'm wondering if the ARB would be the better choice...

Putting money into a dana35 is like going out of your way to step in dog poop.

 

[kludge]

LOL. But I agree. Use the money to get a 8.8".

I thought the samething. But a Superior Super 35 makes the D35 just as strong as a D44.

Still uses C-clips and the thin-walled axle tubes.

Definitely makes it a better 35, but still a 35.

 

[Caleb]

Bigger axle tubes?

Chrysler 8.25 or ford 8.8

Superior has the c-clip eliminator kit as well...

I also read this on another site..

In fact, the 30 spline hardened alloy shafts that come in a Super 35 kit are slightly stronger than the OE 30 spline shafts used in a Dana 44. Plus the axle tubes used in a TJ D30 and TJ D44 are identical. So other than the R&P gears being smaller in a Dana 35 which is really not a huge deal for 99% of wheelers, there's not much to not like about the Super 35 kit.

Add a truss, and then you might be on to something.

The 8.8 still has a larger axle shaft, larger ring gear, and larger tubes. Of course, it will take some fabrication to adapt to the TJ, along with the re-gear and locker.

Depends on what you want: bolt-in installation with a decent strength improvement vs. a more custom installation with a more notable strength improvement. Costs are about the same.

What size tires?

I'd say ARB air locker for sure.

lovemachine, The TJ 44 was never really a 44.

You can't tell me you'd rather have a Super 35.

Add the cost of a regear to your D35, add a locker of your choice to the 8.8 and it's close to a wash -- within a couple hundred bucks.
