Hello,I currently have a dana 35c rear axle with 33" tires. Im adding apowertrax no-slip locker into it soon. while im there i plan toupgrade the axle shafts to 30 spline. I would like to know where onthe internet (or anywhere that delivers) i could find 30 spline axleshafts for a dana 35c. I understand that superior has them, but i donot want a detroit locker (its my daily driver) that is included witha "super 35" kit. I also have heard of people here who have mosershafts but i cant find them anywhere for the dana 35.Also, when installing the locker, will the old axle slide right out ifi pull the c-clips? Will they come out freely and would the 30 splineshafts replace the same way easily?ThanksDerek

That sounds alot like the Super35 Kit from Superior Gear. I got my SuperiorGear one-piece axles for my AMC20 from a place in Corona, CA., calledDriveTrains Direct. My guess is that you could probably get them from BobSupplee as well. Bob is probably cheaper.The shafts will slide right out, but the spider gears will need to bereplaced because they have a different spline count.

And if you had read my post I wrote, you too would realize what Iwrote, I quote in it's entirety, "Nothing's bigger than 33" on my pageof broken axles". It's a statement plain and simple, don't be making amountain out of a mole hill. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||Omailto: wrote:

If I actually had any hair, I surely would pull it out talking to you.

The discussion is, what size tires can the D35 support? You said it won't take anything smaller than 33s, then you point out that anything larger than the stock tires require a lift. What in Hell has a lift got to do with this? Of course lift is needed, but lift has no bearing on the strength of the axles. And, the OP is considering installing 30-spline axles, which are equivelent to the D44, making the entire slideshow of D35 Borken Axles that you linked us to as completely irrelevent.

alright then maybe i'll just put in a detroit true-trac limited slip in the rear. would that work better and be safer for the d35?

If you are really considering getting the 30 spline axles, then you should do it. Any version of the 27 spline axles you have now will be essentially the same, from the perspective of strength. There are all of the obvious differences in terms of performance or function of the various 27 spline options, but they are all essentially the same strength. The 30 spline shafts are equivelent to the D44 for most people, and far superior to any of the 27 spline options.

If you can get a TruTrac in a 30 splint configuration, then yes, it would be better for the D35.
