I know there is a lot of discussion on here about axle upgrades/swaps. I have a 93 6cly/auto with 4" lift on 33 ATs. This Jeep really isn't going to do much (if any offroading) as I have a CJ and am thinking of building another rig from a bunch of parts I am accumulating. Also, being where I am, even when off the pavement it is usually very flat.
I have run across the opportunity to get a Dana 35 out of an older YJ (non c-clip) with the 4.10 ratio for very little money. So I am thinking about grabbing it and wondering what some other front options are that would be very economical (such as find a 2.5 front axle already geared or axle out of xxx that would have a 4.10 ratio, etc.)
Again, I am aware that the D35 is not the most recommended rear-end, etc, but for the use of this particular Jeep, I believe going down to the 4.10 is all it really needs (if I do anything). I have priced re-gearing the front to match, but really don't want to put that much in this project.
