Everybody else places it equal at best.

The Ring & Pinion gears on the OP's D35 are not broken, making this a moot
point. Actually, it makes all of your posts on the subject moot.

You should stick to stuff you know about.

I think you should. I have been around jeeps and driving them before
AMC even bought them and know the AMC 20 well. I am not a" johny come
lately flash in the pan know it all" like you claim to be. You are the
moot one because you do not think the ring and pinion size has any
bearing on carrier design or strength or overall axle strength
including axle housing itself which many like you never even remotaly
consider. I have seen D35's break ring and pinion with upgraded axle
but usually the axles go first. I have seen bent housing too that are
not longer true. With stock tires they are about bullet proof in a old
light weight Jeep but when you raise them and install bigger tires the
rules change which you fail to understand. People like you think that
you upgrade axle shafts and you have upgraded the whole rear end.
There is a reason they make and use bigger axles and carriers but this
logic escapes your limited grasp on this subject.
