Help with new 35" tires
Hi,
I want to get bigger tires to my TJ and I'm thinking on the 35" BFG M/T. The problem is that I have a very weak setup: 2.5L R.E. 3" lift Rancho 9000 shocks Rear Dana 35-C clip Front Dana 30 4.56 gears Anyone with this 2.5L motor and a D35 rear dif have any experience ( good or bad ) with 35" tires ? Must I use a body lift to clear those tires? Thanks in advance for any help, Miguel Cunha ( in Portugal ) |

Re: Help with new 35" tires
DO NOT, put 35" tires on a Dana 35, unless you want to spend a lot of time
walking back out. The Dana 35 is unquestionably THE WORST axle ever put under a Jeep, it's a testament to some bean counter at AMC, who started the plague in the first place, and the tradition of lunacy has been carried on at Daimler Chrysler. The best thing you can do with a Dana 35 is to either donate it to a scrap metal company so they can melt it down and make something useful out of it, or toss it into a pond for fish habitat. Let us count the miseries of this axle 1) pinion bearings too small, which over heat and take out the pinion seal, 2) r& p undersized, 3) axle shafts undersized, 4) c-clip retention, 5) needle bearings at the axle ends that get overstressed under minor loads, 6) weak axle tubes, 7) low fluid capacity...the list goes on. In short, the thing is a CURSE! Also, don;t waste money on a "Super 35" kit, either, it just delays the misery.
