Upgrade dana 30 to 44 or build junkyard 60s

Unread post by mudpup96 »

Looking for some opinions, I'm starting to save for another big upgrade. I'm thinking either going with a loaded dana-spicer 44 with locker or possibly slowly build a set of junkyard 60s. jeep wont be the daily soon so not to worried about dailying it. What are you guys opinion?

Junkyard either kingpin or 05 or newer ford. If you not going to run bigger than 37's you can get away with a 44. But thats my opinion. If your going to the crawling scene 60.

Depends on budget, 60’s if you can swing it. If you plan on being able to inspect it, be aware of the width.
