This is the funniest thread I've seen in a while. If you can't properly torque the wheelbearings on a dana 35 I'm not sure you have the smarts to do an axle swap. You may want to just go buy a jeep.

i can thats why it is only one side that is messed up at one point it was a bent bearing replaced that and then it went out again the spindal was bent so i got a new one then found out the rotor was bent and replaced that and now it went out again. so i'm done with it. i have more fab skills than you think. i have made bumpers hitches welded spiders on a jeep with 44 that gets beat and the welds haven't broke or cracked. i wade the tire gate that is on my truck. gust to let you know i'm the top kid in my welding class i can do every thing from a vertical up with an stick welder to tig aluminum and stainless steal. what you got on that?

You know, this is a long ass post for not having any actual tech, just a lot of talking smack. Getting back to your original question, what year Rubicon are you looking in to TJ? JK? TJ Rubicon front axles are LP D44 centers with dana 30 outers/bearings, not much of a improvement over a HP D30. As for a JK Rubicon axle, that is a bit of an upgrade over a HP D30, but it'll cost you JK Axle Assembly, not to mention that you will need to change you bolt pattern to 5 on 5...

As with any swap, some things arent gonna line up and it's up to you, as the person doing the mods to figure it out. I'm in the process of figuring some of those things out myself doing a Dana 30hp swap. Yeah, I know.. everyone is sitting there saying, why a Dana 30. Well, It's my freaking choice and it fits my criteria set by myself and will meet all my expectations. If I was building a mud bogger, I wouldn't have chosen a Dana 30.... but I'm not building a bogger.
Point here is, you as a builder have to sit down and think about what you are going to want to do with it when it's done. After, you research the "problem" areas and look to see if there is an upgrade that will fit your needs and budget. There is no sense in re-designing the wheel, it's been done many time before.
The Dana30 axle has been around for some time now and if you open your eyes and look, there are quite a few people doing some serious wheeling with them... and these same people are getting quality results.
Thats not to say that if you beat on it that it won't break... Everything has a limit. The people who are breaking these axles are either well beond the capabilities of the differential or need to learn some self control.... you know, that same self control your wife/girlfriend talks about after your done and she's barely warmed up!

Done.

If you have a tech-based question or want to create a build-follow thread do so, otherwise I'm cutting the chit-chat.
