I have been trying to research the ins and outs of the Dana 30 and Dana 35 axles. I have come up with some questions, that I seem to find conflicting answers.
First off my 2001 TJ has 3.07 gears, I am ok with the 3.07 LSD, I will not be involved with extreme rock climbing etc. I have 31 inch tires with a 2 inch lift.
Here are my questions....
1. Is there a "breaking" point for the size of gears you can install with the carrier that comes with the 3.07 ? And if so, what is the exact breaking point?
2. When I look through the application charts for "lockers" they make a note of (for example) fits 3.77 and higher OR fits 3.55 and lower. Is this a physical size thing or you just shouldn't lock a 3.07 cause you just don't know better?
3. Is it because the ring gear is thicker on higher ratio gear sets and the ring must be removed to gain access.
I have not been able to find the answers for these things if someone could point me in the right direction it would help
