How are you doing the steering? High steer, crossover, or still using the inverted-y? What type of steering box?

Why don't you steal a solid axle shaft out of a cherokee d30 instead of buying that gay *** axle lock.

locking hubs...and the axle disonnect only disconnects the passenger shaft...so with an open diff your spider gears are gonna be getting it AWN while in 4wd with it disconnected..

Well man if you did research on any jeep forum you'll see that 30's explode locked with 33's, honestly i wouldn't have done all that labor just to run a **** *** d30 axle on 38.5 boggers.

Even if you had a stock Dana 44 under there, I'd leave it unlocked with 38" Boggers.

I give that D30 two good offroad trips before it grenades.

yea 38's are in the d60 zone i think my 36's are going to be pushing the limit of my d44. i cant wait till i can afford a d60/70 combo
