DirtyComanche Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Strength difference between a LP and HP axle in the front is over-rated BS. I explained why at some point. Besides, it's a D-turdy, it's gonna break eventually. But, a HP axle will give you a far better driveshaft angle. I'm thinking of looking for another HP44 housing to cut down. (I traded the other one in part for some tires and rims... it's a long story) My leaf springs can very near bind the u-joint at forced droop on the driver's side. And they flex like LEAF SPRINGS!
goldtooth Posted January 2, 2007 Author Posted January 2, 2007 yeah it is not the strength difference so much but the dshaft angles. this d30 will only see 32" at's max. i won't rule out a tj/zj d30 if i can't find a hp30 that matches the 8.8 i pick up. nathan
blown xj Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 i have 35 on my xj with 3.08 i have a borla header and a rusty tbs and it goes pretty good
dakal Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 i ran 3.55 's with 33 's . 5th gear was for going down hill only. 3.07 's sounds horrible. ba-5 trans :eek:
jackel18 Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 my '95 yj(5spd) had 33's and 4:10's and i had no problems, i thought it was great! i could get 80 mph(only did on ocasion) and never hit 3000 rpms.
91mj97tj Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 My TJ has 3:07's and it sucks and it doesn't do too bad with gas maybe 215 miles to a tank. But that is with 33x13.50. The power is terrible that is why I want to go to 4:56. I just don't like the uphill power is where it kills me. :cry:

91mj97tj Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 :roll: i get maybe 215 mp tank on my stock MJ with 3.07s :cry: (note: 14gal tank) Maybe it is just the power that really affects me but I just barely manage to get 215 a tank. I think that is really bad because my MJ had a four popper with 4:10 and I had to fill up like maybe once every two weeks. I just feel like the lack of power is really bad and it has a header but it just can't pull those dang tires. Fifth is like down hill with wind gear :D
