[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 3341430, member: 15643"] So what gears, lockers, tire size and rear axle are you going with? They're stout axles for sure. I'm around them alot on early broncos, and I've still seen guys break axle shafts but it's pretty rare. Nothing like axle breaks in Dana 44. Dana 30 on the 66'-70' are scrapped immediately if a guy plans on wheeling with them. The 71'-77' came with Dana 44 up front and they'll handle a lot, nothing like the Dana 60 and the Ford 10.25 in the rear. I've not swapped to tons yet, maybe some day. Dana 44 and Ford 9" taken me over some crazy things multiple times. The previous owner of my daughter's JK put a lift and 35" tires on it, but left the 3.31 gears in. That was the first thing I did when we got home. Ordered 4.56/4.47 gears, took to a buddy's shop so I could use his lift. Made that job so much easier. [/QUOTE]
