Default upgrading a dana 30

I believe that the x and sahara come with a 30 spline and the rubicon comes with a 32 spline

The front in your X is a Dana 30 27 spline. The rear is a Dana 44 30 spline. the Dana 30 in the front is pretty strong as it is for mild wheeling. It's my experience that Dana 30s are quite durable when upgraded with performance parts.
