the D30 and D35 front ends both become weak with 35" tires or larger.
I agree 100% 35" is the widely-accepted max for either of them.

jeep cherokees and jk's are 4200 plus....the grands came with v8 power![]()
You guys would definitely agree a ifs d35 is weaker than a ttb d35 yeah?
you are kinda painting yourself in a corner with a D30.
I disagree, a d30 isn't painting yourself into a corner. in fact, quite the opposite. if you swap in a d30, if you ever want to do the D44, all you need to do (for the most part) is weld the brackets onto the D44, and its done. something I could do in an afternoon.
a TTB conversion isn't a feasible thing on this truck.
Just saying be sure you won't want a D44+ later on before you sink a bunch of money in a D30.

also, who said anything about oversize tires? I didn't, the OP sure didn't
I also suggest that you talk to people with D35, and find out how prone to getting tweaked, bent, and hammered their stamped steel housings are
oh, and a D35's 3rd member is aluminum. "stronger"? I think not. in fact the TRS member DOPIESLC hasn't ever even really wheeled his much at all, and his aluminum d35 3rd member has a hairline crack, and is now leaking fluid
