I was going to stay with 4.88s. But I was also going to run my 35s with 3.21s for a while until I get all the cash for the regearing. I don't wheel THAT often. But at least once a month I would say.

Because your ring in your D30 teeth is way to small, unless your going to be a mall crawler.

The pinion shaft on the JK Dana 30 is much larger than a TJ Dana 30, and the JK Dana 30 is a high pinion axle--stronger design.

As a result, you'd be hard pressed to find evidence of large numbers of JK Dana 30 5.13 gear failures with 35s over the last 7 years.

Pretty much, the only failures you will find if you search on this and other forums are either locked with 37s, or the recoil from having an axle shaft break was so bad that it would have broken even 4.88s, or the rig was a JKU with so much gear and armor that it weighed over 6000 lbs.

There is just no meaningful evidence to support your claim.
