And if you part out your Dana 30 on eBay...you could recover some of that.

And I have a DANA 44 coming off the rear, without lockers I can part out too.

What size relay??

I am finally getting around to getting these put in. I put the front on yesterday. Very easy on and off. I am trying to determine what size relay I need for the lockers. Front and rear will be wired and switched independently, ie two relays. As best I can tell the lockers are 25 amps, but I maybe wrong.

Thanks,
Pete

I wanted to swap out my D30 for the Mopar 44, but my dealer told me there's no warranty at all on the 44. I'll wait until my factory warranty runs out, then maybe swap.

Yeah, basically I own these axles. If they brake I'll just make them bigger and better through upgrades. I always have my originals that I can put back on.

TiredPete, did you have to buy the axle shafts too? if it's hub to hub, shouldn't they already be in there??
