I have the stock d44 axle in my TJ. How big a tire anyone recommend running with a locker on that? Trying to figure out whats gotta get upgraded next and decide how big my next tires should be. Still going back and forth between 33's and 35's.

i heard that the factory axle shafts are the weak link in the d44. Even with that, 35s should be ok. If you go with 35s you should consider superior or similar upgraded shafts. When are you planning on doing this? Im thinking about doing the same but i need to find a d44 first.

Yeah I was planning on upgrading the axles when I lock them. Should get it done whenver I can throw together enough cash to do the front and rear, lockers shafts and gears.

The stock axle shafts are pretty weak. I twisted a rear one on 31's. Most people will say up to 33's on stock, but upgrade for 35's. Depends on how much skinny pedal you use. I'd recomend the Alloy USA shafts.

yeah I was wondering also because Im putting in a spool.. So I will be permenantly locked. I have 33's and never had any problems but with total lock Ive asked a few guys and they say watch your outer bearings because they take alot of added stress.. I think im gonna put in hardened axles

from my readings and talkings to many people, the spider gears are actually the weakest link....hense why mine shredded.
anybody who has wheeled with me knows that im a fan of skinny pedal at times and haven't had an issue with shafts yet. so if you want 35's but can't afford both a locker and shafts. get the locker first and then upgrade the shafts later on. i plan on getting alloy shafts when i upgrade to rear disc, but im not worried about bending/breaking a shaft at all.
