What do you plan on using your jeep for? Type of terrain? and when you say front diff do you mean the whole axle assembly needs replaced or just the cover?

Lots of options just for a new axle. Do u currently have a d30? Are u looking to run 37s of bigger? Do u want/need a locker?

Best would be a pro rock 60 or even a 44 if u can afford it. Otherwise a Rubi 44 sleeved, gusseted, and trussed would be nice if u don't wheel too hard and want to stay 35s or smaller. If u plan to go larger tires, now would be a good time to regear when u get a new axle like I said, lots of options!

How much was the check cut for, if you don't mind asking? That kind of gives people a rough budget...
Have fun.
