Like the title says, do TJ dana 35 parts- like ring, pinion and carrier work in a YJ housing?
I kinda got screwed buying a set of 3.54 (turned out to be 3.07's) axles from "pariah24" on FloridaJeepers.net and since Ive now wasted my money to change up my gears, I need to find a cheaper way.
I cannot find a reasonably priced set of 3.54, 3.73 or 4.10 axles anywhere near me.
What I have found are two different "complete" 4.10 dana 30's, and a TJ 4.10 rear axle without spider gears, that could come in around my current budget.
My other option is to buy an 8.8 with 3.73's, and I found a carrier with 3.73 ring and pinion for the Dana30, also around the same money. I would need to add more money for the axle swap though.
I know the majority of you will say go 8.8, other than the gear ratio- but I would rather not swap to a Ford axle. Ive had my share of hot rods with 9" rears and I completely understand the strength issue, but my Jeep does way more highway miles than trail miles and only has 31's.
So can the carrier and ring/pinion from the 4.10 TJ axle be set up in the YJ 3.07 housing?
