In need of some direction for my build

[JMT]

so going into this when I explained to the builder that I was open to 35s but wanted to do this the right way. The right way he said was to 86 the dana 30 bc he said there is only so much I could do to build up a strong dana 30, that at the end of the day the ring gear is taking on all that work and with 35s that ring gear would eventually break. this was coming from a TJ specialist too, I don't do FB. this form is my go to. my plan was to get a better front axle but I was checking out your setup and looks like its doable without that axle swap.

There’s a Super 30 which is more than enough for 35’s and better clearance than other axles. A Dana 44 uses the same outer as a Dana 30, so the weak spot is the same.
