So since I've almost got everything for my 8.8, it's tile to stock pile parts for the d35. It's stock as of now, except some SOB stole my manual hubs. It had some warn hubs. Will I have to buy warns to replace them? They only took the outer metal part... And what else will I need for the swap in my b2. I know I need new drop brackets. Still trying to locate some cheap ones or get money together for a set on here. Also I'll be using jeep coils from a XJ hopefully. And probably an Aussie. What else, or once again do I have everything covered? What about trusses? Or is the housing plenty strong.

And I know there is an axle tech section now so if someone needs to move it they can...

You can't use the rough country drop plate. So the plate has to be replaced with an actual beacket.

i think you can use a drop plate, but you run the risk of punching a hole in the D35 pig.

sasquatch_ryda just posted a thread showing where he bent the driver's side beam of his D35, so no, they arent plenty strong if you plan to wheel them hard.

AllanD sells manual hubs for D35's for $90 shipped
