thats a lot of $$$$ to throw in a D30..........

the locker alone is worth half of that. it is a pretty good deal if you compare it to buying all that crap new. and its trussed.
im not talking about the asking price-it all adds up to a good deal-im just talking about putting that much money in a dana 30 in the first place.-- for all that you could've got somthing eles.
Alot of people like to stay narrow so a Dana 30 makes for a good build up axle. I plan on staying with my 30 and putting in my 8.8 on 36's and running this setup for a long time.

Yeah you are planning a 30 build but if you paid $1200 for one id have kick u in the nuts. yes it does have a lot of money in it and you couldnt build it for that but the fact that you can by a set of 1 tons for less, or get a set of norrow 3/4 tons $1200 is just not cost effective for a dana 30 good axle just not worth it to me.

Well, all this being said... you can't buy an axle built like this that will simply bolt in to a TJ. I would buy this in a heartbeat for the $. Run 35's all day without any worries. {salute}

im not trying to say its not worth but it just not cost effective for a person with fab skills. It would be worth it for some one that just wanted to bolt it in to a tj and go, ive seen the same setup run 37's.

I think most of us are in the same boat somehow. We fab everything but don't have the money to buy the material to fab with. :'(
