Having some work done to my CJ. Adding 33’s for mild off-roading will also regear to 4.88 and add some flavor of locking diff front and rear. Is it even worth fooling with the stock Dana 30 or should I just upgrade to a 44 or other before spending money (~$1000) on the Dana 30? I would prefer not to do this twice.
Research online recommends trussing, C gussets and shaft upgrades to chromo. I’m not opposed to doing this if it’s a viable and reasonable long term investment. My concern is mostly the gear size especially when you get up to 4.88 with the added stress of a locker.
