Default Upgrading to 35's -- Questions need Answers

I want 35's and I want to do it right the first time.

I know what lift I want and the control arms and track bars, etc. and so forth...

- What are the largest gears I can fit in a D30 front axle & D44 rear axle?

- Do 35's put any significant amount of stress on the D30 or am I all good to go?

- I'll be doing a 3.5" superflex lift from Rubicon Express. I should definitly look into changing my front and rear driveshaft, correct? And, how difficult is it to swap driveshafts?

- Will I need a drop pitman arm, stronger steering stabilizer, or HD tie rod?

Anything else you all can help me out with I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

5.13s is as big as you can go. if you can install the lift, you can do the driveshafts. You don't need any of that stuff. Don't use a drop pitman unless you get a drop track bracket in the front. I would just run adj. track arms myself. the other stuff isn't neded but you can always add it later.

Gussett and C the 30 if you can, and if you lock it use a selectable. Go EZ on the skinny pedal and you will be fine.
