Default Have you broken your factory Dana 30?

Have you broken your factory Dana 30 and if so, how did you do it? What was your set-up when it broke? What were you doing?

If you have not broken it, what is your current set-up with it?

No problems so far. GY MTRK 35's and 3.73, auto. Only have c-gussets.

I bet those that broke it, did something really stupid or careless.

I love this thread. Thought about posting this same question myself. I just upped the ante with 35" grappler mts on my 2010 sport. The jeep goes in for gusset and sleeve on wed. I have no plans to lock the front so far, but if I do, I will go with chromoly shafts. Plan is to lock the rear and run 4.88s sometime this spring. No plans on swapping axles anytime soon.

I'd love to see a bent axle that has been sleeved. It seems like it makes the axle pretty darn rigid..
