I've been thinking...

If you are staying with 31s why do an axle swap?

Also if the 31s have a lot of tread spend the money on the lift and keep your eye out for a rear end. Things are always cheaper when you dont have to have it right now.

Those are some words of wisdom right there boys!

Because right now I have a D35 with drum brakes behind a V8. I already have a locker for a D44a which is a bolt in affair plus it has disk brakes.  I should be able to find it cheaply, but that hasn't happen yet. Plus, if I had to choose between a lift and a locker, I would choose a locker.

With a lot of the trails I have been on, traction has been a bigger issue then ground clearance.

I agree with the locker being better than the lift. And forgot you have a v8. It seems you want the axle more so I would keep looking and keep saving for the D44a.

x2 big time.  True about a lot of areas of life, but really hits home on a 4wd build.  We can all find what we want/need for a deal if we are willing to wait.  For some reason I can't wait.  Can you?

Jagar 1, urdaddyjeep 0. Haha.

Yeah, Jager won this one I think. Good thing about Jager is how wonderful it makes you feel the next day. Anybody care for a greasy pork chop served up in a dirty ashtray?  ;D

[urdaddyjeep]

Jager makes me feel good the next day.... other then the squarts.. but  {btt}  Lockers are used for both as everyone knows, but my questions what do you do the most?? And if you rock climb then I would say it would have to be the lift first reason why is you will need the clearance when rock climbing... but you all know that... just pick one and when you have the money and time pick the other one up

I'm doing the locker first. The only time reason I would sell the locker for a lift is to get it finished faster, but I realize that I don't have to do everything I want at one time.
