Dana 35 LOCKER!!

[H-K]

I broke a D35 shaft, running a Detroit, by turning out of a gravel driveway. Think on that.

Man, that sucks. I would rather spend my energy doing something to earn money for a bigger axle than spend another minute working on a D35. Just my $.02

don't bother with D44 either. If you're going to go to all the trouble of the swap and the associated work and costs, do it once and do it right with a big ol' axle. =D

You def. need the ORB of traction like on pirate as Bear said

ORB of traction.

Just don't get carried away and melt the carrier bearings

it might not be the best way to get the job done but it works my dana 35 has been welded for 2 years and its a daily driver havent had any problems i thought id break it pretty quick

FYI my wife (or me) killed a carrier bearing in a d35, in a yj, on the street with 31's, probably the V8 and the burnouts had something to do with it.

The best thing to do with a D35 is tie a rope to it and sell it as a boat anchor.

I installed an aussie in my uncles jeep with 33's 2 yrs ago and its still going. . . he donsn't wheel much thou On the other hand my old man had a 35 and broke the axles a few times before ditching it. Good Luck
