Sorry but I posted this in stk tech by mistake ..looking for advice and aprox cost of what I would spend to upgrade my stock Dana 30 and 44 for light off road mud use, limited crawling if any. did want to possibly sleeve front axle's with alloys and lockers front and rear.. and what mods should be done to rear in addition to lockers for mud use? 2012 JK auto with 35's and 3.5 lift . usually in mud with quads and new to JK have not pushed it in the mud not knowing what it can do with stk drivetrain .. did get advice on maybe just a locker for rear which sounds good but not sure how far to go for my type of use .

 

carefull with steering in the mud with a d 30 front end. they put a 44 on the rubicon because its beefier, not saying not to mud with the 30, just dont be all over the wheel in the thick stuff as that would stress it out . lockers are great, definitely get them.

 

I have done just a rear eaton e-locker and riddler diff cover had a shop do it for me except painting of the diff which I did. But the locker with install , parts $1500 out the door. I have a '08 auto with 3.73 . 295/75-18. I'm saving up for gears now 4.56. And will either do a limited slip in the front or maybe another locker not sure depends on the $

 

thanks wanted to do the locker for rear 44 ... I think the previous owner did the gear because according to speed chart I think it's 4:10 .. still up in the air on front

 

thanks .. I was considering sleeve's and axels for the Dana 30 if its worth it for what I do even gusset plates ??
