Planning some major surgery for the upcoming winter/spring (assuming I can convince Lori to get a 2nd vehicle).
Anyway, I haven't figured out what I want to do 100% yet but it's looking like a RE 5.5" or a 7.5" with a set of Boggers or Iroks in the 37-40" range.
What i'm not certain on is axles. Right now i've got a D30 front and D44 rear. I'm looking to keep the install as simple as inexpensive (realatively speaking) as possible...........any suggestions?

Your rear will be fine, lose the front diff if you can, another 44 would be great high pinion if you can would be the best. You can get a mid 70's ford dana 44 it will be a high pinion drivers side drop. It will be set up for a leaf system but with a few friends a torch or plasma cutter and welder you should be able to set it up the way you want it. If you keep an eye on ECO or Calgary you might find one out of a TJ ready to go. Good luck and I will keep an eye out.

Yeah, a 44 out of a Rubicon would be ideal. The only friend I have with a welder is Kris.......and I've seen his first attempt at a weld....haha.
I think I may just run the D30 until something breaks......then upgrade at that point......but we'll see.
If you find something let me know.
Cheers!

Does your 30 have a split axel on the passenger side if so put in a solid, on one of the boards, Calgary I think there was a posting for a Dana 30 Moser upgrade, that would be better than what you have.

I'm pretty sure it's solid......not 100% though.
I'm planning on getting upgraded shafts & u-joints (and regearing of course) but sticking with 27 spline shafts so I can use my stockers as spares. I could upgrade to 30 spline but then i'm hooped if I do bust one.
