Hi all
I am on the cusp of doing some big work to My 2010 JKUS lifted 2.5 inch on 35's. I was previously going to buy a used set of Rubi axles but aborted that. As of now, I am definitely regearing rear and putting in ARB air locker in rear and compressor. I am wanting to get the Prorock 44 up front but really need to work the funds! That said, if i decided to hold off on prorock for moment, i would regear front and hold on air locker for front as well until i get a prorock. I am debating this b/c it's basically another 5000. So question i have is:
1) Can the dana 30 handle 37's? Note i am not much of a offroader and if i did, i would just do light LIGHT trails. I am thinking I would gusset at minimum. If you think dana 30 can not handle 37's or woudl eventually fail, then i would keep 35's if i choose to hold off on Prorock for now but i guess the whole point of doing all this is to go to 37's and I have to choose what gears i need (5.13 vs 4.88)
2) do you think it is necessary to put chromoly shafts in rear stock dana 44? I was thinking of trussing it too but hear that can actually be worse
Also - opinions. Going to either do EVO rear tire carrier with their rear corner guards - OR - Poision Spyder rear corner guards with Genright tire carrier. I know with both you have to undo pins so it's a pain. Any special opinions? I PM'd a couple of guys with the EVO and general consensus is it isn't too bad to open/close. I like PS skins better and will match my other PS stuff, but like EVO carrier better than Genright. Just meatier and cooler looking IMO. Thoughts?
Thanks everyone
