A couple of things, the new Dana 35 rear is a 29 spline axle (The old original Dana 35 was only 27 spline for reference). So it is actually closer to the JK’s sport 44 which is 30 splines. The axle tubes themselves are the same as the D44 and much thicker than the JK,s.Posted yesterday trying to identify my axles, looks like I've got the M186 front and M200 rear. My local 4x4 shop suggested not to do a regear on the dana 35 and definitely not on the dana 30, instead just save up for new axles all together, purely because they aren't strong enough. I'm not sure if he's basing that decision on the old JK axles.
Looking to go 4.56 or 4.88 with 35's. Anyone have any experience regearing on the 30 & 35?
I have the D35 D30 set up with 4.56 Yukon gearing and 35 inch tires. I have wheeled it quite a bit including trips to Moab. I run open differentials and I’ve had no issues at all.
