So I got $2300 for a super diff set up to start

[dirty*sister*rider]

Hi all. So, i got the 2,300 for a stronger gearing set up to match my 35 inch wheels. Is it doable? What i want: is a stronger axel setup that wont break the bank using existing dana 35 and dana 30. What i dont want: is swaping diffs with 8.8 or spending 10k on a currie or any other setup. The 4.56 gears is in mind and im pretty solid on that. Im hoping that most ring gear brand bolt holes will match the locker of choice i have in mind. There are choices with short pinion or regular does this matter with standard 97 dana 35? Any advice would be helpful to ensure smooth ftment with no hangups... Would a case spreader be hepful? Here some images of the products in mind.

I plan to go down the super 35 route eventually myself. I plan to use the Revolution kit when that time comes as they are highly regarded by many on here. Have you cross shopped Revolution?

X2 on Revolution shafts and gears and I'd highly suggest Eaton e-lockers.

I'm assuming with your 4.56 choice you have the 32RH?

2nd revolution on the axle Shafts.
The rear auto locker is questionable depending on what you plan to do. Nothing like pulling into a parking lot and having the rear locker pushing you straight while the wheels are turned.
I can recommend a front spartan auto locker as they can eat. I ran one around Arizona for years and it worked better then when I only ran a rear.
You may already have a front locker. Maybe you just want full lock up front and rear and that’s why you got a rear on it. What’s the front got?

I've got the 32rh as well, but with 3.73s at least, it's barely tolerable with 33s.

This would be they way to go.......

Revolution for the gears and shafts.

Selectable locker or limited slip in the rear

Lock up the front anyway you can afford

You will be satisfied

The front is going to get a upgraded carrier to handle the 4.56 gearing. 30 spline lunchbox with rcv's a little later.

Don’t skip the front locker while it’s apart. If you need to skip a locker, skip the rear. Front pays for itself on every obstacle

I'm not aware of a 30 spline lunchbox locker.

I had 4.56 gears with 32s and a 32rh on one of my old 98s. It felt great in the city/offroad. Not so much while cruising at 75 mph.
