Anyone know of dealer here that sells the D30 Chromolly kit? Customer wants his D30 built and probably something similar for the rear 8.25
If there are any "black Friday specials" let me know and he might go ahead and buy it even though we're not ready for axles yet.
Thank you
 
I’d suggest to the customer to ditch the 30 instead of wasting money on it... truthfully they are shit unless ya running 33s and only want to be able to say I got chromos! I mean I’ve only ice cream cones like 4 pinions in a d30 on 34s and god knows how many u joints never a shaft tho...

I know of 4 Dana 30s on 35-36s that get wheeled on a regular basis, 2 get treated like a 3 year old is driving. Have yet to see failures out of them. The key to making a 30 live is a full case locker, chromos and don't bounce it.
 
I beat my old HP 30 hard with 35s and 36s and never broke it. I broke rear D44 1310 u-joints and axle shafts first, or other stuff like steering parts.

It was lockrite, 4.56, chromo Nitro shafts, 300M joints, gussseted C’s, long side truss and Ruffstuff diff cover.
 
His plan is 33s, Aussie lockers f&r, chromo 30 and I told him 8.25 is fine as it is for 33s. DD weekend warrior rig so won't be beat but wants reliable

it’s def doable I ran the snot out of my zj on 34 ltb with stock Dana 30 welded and only technically broke 3 of em on the trail but was def driver error bc I like the skinny pedal! 2 were on easy out in mtn city one on grapevine in Harlan broke 35 and 30 on grapevine... was a great day lol

thanks for the link very much. So is my understanding those are the "regular" type ujoints that come with the package but not the "super" joints that have a warranty?
for his use of DD/weekend warrior on 33s, should he be set with that kit or is it worth getting those "super" joints with the axles as well. Thank you

Should not use Superjoints on an axle without lockout hubs.

Wonder why?
 
Why you putting me on the spot man
 
300M joints with bronze bushings definitely need regular greasing for on-road driving, but I was really making a pun :D
 
Oh good info. Thanks guys. Never actually looked into them now I know
