alright fellas, i just bought me a 99 xj about a month ago and its got a 8 in. lift runnin 35's. lockrite in the front (D30) and stock LSD in the rear (8.25) now i know that rear ends get a little warm but mine is gettin almost to hot to touch, could this me from the LSD heatin up that thin oil???? but neways, to my question, im thinkin about puttin an aussie in the rear, now is this a good decision considerin this is my daily driver??? and what gears should i change these axles to?? im runnnin 3.55 now, im thinkin 4.10 range maybe??? but i like my highway speed. also, with that lockite in the front should the driveshaft have a 1/3rd turn of play???? thanks for the help in advance fellas!!!!
 
Not sure on the oil temp. As for gears, 4.56's,
 
ok, well, i got a deal on a set of ford axles, a 9 inch and a d44 so i think thats what im gonna run, little bit of fab work, the only part i aint figure out is what kind of steering stuff i will need, just have to wait till i get the axles i reckon.... but im still gonna run those aussie lockers. cheap and dependable from what ive heard and lbyota, i dont know how those 4.88's would do me as a dd, as i travel the interstate quite often
 
thanks lbyota, i might be gettin in touch with you more as i start this project, it might be a little while though, gotta save some money up.
