Little Jeep 05-23-2007, 06:02 AM I have been running 4:56 gears with 33 inch tires on my locked D30 for a while now with zero issues. I think you will have axle shaft issues long before the R&P become an issue. Go for it. xyjbeaker 05-23-2007, 06:35 AM X2 if anything think about 'molly shafts, but- once you start dumping that cash into a d30 you may have been better off just grabbing a d44 or a 9inch... TotalImmortal 05-23-2007, 08:04 AM i am running 4.88s. i have broken 3 yukon shafts in the last year. no u joint or r&p problems. 35"s GoldToyBox 05-23-2007, 09:52 AM Yea, strength is going to be an issue but like mentioned above other items are going to probably break first. Your going to be in for the cost of new axles along with the gear plus you need for cash for the rear gears too. Plus no disconnects. So I wouldn't do it. IMHO 4:1 gears for the Transfer case is a better way to go for off-road use. OR A Dana 44 or 9" like mentioned above is a better way to go too. I'm still running a Dana 30 but I'm REAL easy on the skinny pedal but when it breaks it's going to be replaced. Good luck WahooJeep 05-23-2007, 03:00 PM I'm running 4.88's, 35" tires, and chromo shafts. My ring and pinion went bang last weekend, but I'm not easy on the skinnny pedal. I'm upgrading to an HP30 to get a little more ring strength. If i had the $$, I would go with a 9" front end.
