okay... so while you are ordering the treks stuff get their long arm setup and some new coils and leafs and call it done!

skip the 4.10's and go for 4.56 minimum. if your going bigger than 33's anyway you'll want atleast 4.56 grab an 8.8 and go for 4.88 even.

how strong are the 8.8 rear axles my buddy has one with 4.10 gears my only worry is the c-clip in the axle

 

[94xjstud]

They are plenty strong. Lots of people run 35's with the 8.8.

 

[98cherokeexj]

so wat would be a better swap a 8.8 or a dana 44

the D44 is decent, but tell us, whats your overall goal with this rig? are you trying to make it a KOH rig, a bullet proof black diamond rock crawling rig? what are you trying to achieve with it?. help us help you... give us some back ground on what you want to do in it. and what you got to spend. or are you looking for info that you could find by that pretty search button?

Don't waste your time or effort or money or rear links. Not worth it.
