The Xjs getting 42in TSLs.

Damn! :spin1: :speepin:

If you are refering to the 14's, its only a 30 big spline and not 33 spline with different pressure angle then the 70's. The shaft is still 1.5".

You're going to run 42's on a 30 spline 14bolt? Is that wise?

have you seen a 14bolt shaft? diameter at the splines is 1.59", shaft diameter is 1.351", by the flange - 1.458".

Looks good, i personally would not have ditched the D70 because with the 14B your gering is limited to 5.13 as lowest you can go. I have now 5.86 in my 60/70 combo with 39.5 Boggers and plain love it. I will go down to 7.17 once i switch to 44s (gears are already bought) :wave:

By going this low i make sure i will NOT break expensive stuff like t-case or tranny. :eyes:

 

[dennisuello]

i think he's got HP front dana 60, so he's limited to 5.38 gearing there.

When Going to such great size, has anybody expierienced problems with the unibody running such large meats and full size axles? Any pillar cracks or other damage?

Ashman has done extensive plating/boxing to the unibody... which is a must when going that big.

I figured so, i want to someday do full sixe axles and 38's, SOMEDAY, but keep the I6 and probably stroker it. Its just right now im saving for a much larger and smarter investment so the Jeep is fine on 35's. Instead of sugar plums i have visions of 44's dance in my head.

Back to the 14 Bolt Bible for You! :read:

Ya, but even my 8.8 has 31 splines with 1.32" shaft. I'm running that on 32's, hehe.

I'm no expert though, I wanta say your rig is awesome, and I'm jeluous of the cage, box work on the frame, and of course the big meats.

But we just had a so-cal guy break a Dana 60 shaft with 40" MT/R's on his first real run out with it. Just took a little (ok maybe more then a little) pedal, and one tire being jammed up against a rock face. It was a 30 spline shaft though. I was pretty sure it was a 1.5" shaft too, but maybe I'm wrong.

you are wrong. 30 spl d60s are 1.3 something inches. they are about the same size as a 44, but the ff is nice.
just running a regular d60 without 35spl shafts is a waste imo.

I thought so. Ya, I remember someone mentioning my 8.8 shafts were stronger then his 60 shafts. I didn't think they were 1.5". He was running 40's, I was rollin on 32's hehe.

He has since gone to 1.5" shafts.

All this talk of Axle brakeage... :speepin:

I will upgrade as needed....42s are not too large for a d60 14bolt combo, upgrades are available.

I work on the brakes some more tonight.
