 | | On Jeep CJ models, the factory Dana 30 front axle is adequate with smaller tires, but as your tires grow larger, you add a locker, a more powerful engine, and start using lower gears, it begins to show its lack of brute strength. |
 | | I considered the Dana 60, but decided for my needs that it was overkill for my 6 cylinder CJ; it was too heavy, had less clearance, and that it would require too much alteration to make it fit. |
 | | I found that no Jeep, or any other vehicle for that matter, had ever been built with a D44 front axle of the same width as the 1980's Jeep CJ models, the so-called 'wide track CJ', with a 55.8" front track width. |
