Greetings Jeepers!
I am finally ready for regear of my Dana 30 and Dana 35 combo to 4.56!
However, i ran into a dilemma, my initial idea for having a Detroit Truetrac in the rear went out the window when i discovered that they don't make truetracs for 30 spline super Dana 35
So i though no biggie, why not use chromemoly (or what ever that space age material called) 27 spline? ...... Why not though? .... Why?
I am the kind of Jeeper that rides on 31.6" tires. Maybe in the future i may bump up to 33 inchers... maybe. And i say "maybe" only because i had two instances on a simple trail when i was spinning tires in the air while sitting on pumpkins. My play ground is all over the place, i typically pack a rucksack and drive off into adventure for few days. When i see something that catches my eye, i drive right into it.
I have been in the river and mud puddles chest deep. Plowing through closed roads by the snow blizzards while wearing tank top and flip flops. Colorado mountains. Sand dunes and "deserts" on the west coast. Stuck on top of the fallen tree while thinking why didn't i just drive around. Whats next?!
Based on my experience so far, i have decided that a truetrac in the rear and a selectable locker in the front will be the best option for me.
So far i have gotten through things on stock axles with 3.07 gears, painful but doable. So if i can do all that with a stock Dana 35, which should technically explode from me just touching it, how bad can a super Dana 35 with 27 spline shafts be?
What is everyone's opinion?
And if i do go this rout, who would you advise i go with? At first i was going to go with Revolution Gear, but now i don't know, i only see them making 27 splines for Dana 30.
