if that was my goal,

id get:

4.88 ratios + front and rear air lockers= $4300 fitted

4.5 RE super flex suspension $2000 +

1"-2" body lift $300 or so

if you want to stay legal $500 for 7" flares ( cheaper to make your own, pm on on how) from wooders


i'd sugest you upgrade your axles for the D30 or even get a super D30 locker ( $500 +).

you'll need a slip yoke eliminator with cv drive shaft ( $1000 with you doing the fitting, it's easy)



i used to have a patrol on 37's, and my jeep now on 33's is just as capable, and breaks less shit.

small diffs mean more clearance, light wt. means you go further.

i have a mate with 36 pedes on a swb GQ who is thinking about selling is patrol because he's jealous my jeep gets further.

a jeep on 35's set up right is one capable machine.

just not enough room for camping gear.

i came from a zuk....it had an uncomfortable ride, had with even less space to carry stuff and i kept breaking it.

However the 35's on my tj mashed up my rear upper CA arms......that and the wheel stand.

i have had no problem with diffs and i have an auto locker in the front end, air locker in the rear. It is expensive but its also a nice shorty with plenty of maneuverability, has a grunty motor, flexed well and has plenty of clearance while being light weight.

IMHO They can get a bit unstable if you run an long arm in the front end as the front tends to "unload" when climbing hills.....this can be solved with a winch line to the front diff as they do in the WE rock buggies.
