Crap...not exactly what I wanted to hear!

Eh, mine had the same thing when I bought it. No worries though, it can be easily fixed.

Mine came with a crappy Fabtech lift as well, but I'm in the process of replacing it with something much nicer!

I am going to make an assumption that I should stay with the 32's or smaller with this Dana 35?

Welcome aboard! As @Chris pointed out, there seem to be a number of us from the top-left corner of the country these days. You'll like it here. Good folks, good information, good times! :thumbup:

Not necessarily. You can safely run 35" tires on a Dana 35 axle if you turn it into a Super 35 with chromoly axle shafts, a locker, carrier, etc.

The Dana 35 is actually just fine as long as you're not planning on running larger than 35" tires.

I wanted to do 35 BFG KO2s. Too much for the stock Dana 35?
I don't have the money for a Super 35 at this point.....

33's...not 35's

33” tires on a stock Dana 35 will be just fine, as long as you don’t wheel the piss out of it and bash on it.

Thanks a ton for your time. You have been a huge help!

 

[Chris]

No problem, happy to help!

I'd love to do a ton to this thing, but will mostly be modest. Would love to ditch the Dana 35 but that is a costly move I am guessing.

I bought this thing because the wife and I are 3-4 years from retirement and it will be the "fun" rig. Moving to the Boise, ID area where the top can be off a ton. Head into the mountains for loads of fun.

It has the 4.0 and is a manual...

Great Vehicle to retire with! "Retirement and Jeep" Perfect combination!! Enjoy your retirement!
