Sunday wheelin ended up with this:
broken rear left axle (Dana 35) !
Sounds strange for a 4.0L with 2inches lift and 31” Cooper tires (lsd rear).
It happened on a long climb on light/medium rocks with 4 people and bags inside.
No bouncing, no full throttle, just heavy load and not the best grip cause I did not deflated tires, damn.
Suggestions for an improvement?
I’m looking to regear the Jeep too and maybe going to 33s.
Hating those c-clips !!!!!
I'm thinking about going with 1541H axles and mantain the c-clips and no more than the LSD at the rear.
(Just repaired it yesterday with another used axle and a new oil seal after a big flush inside with no differential)
