The high pinion Dana 30 was available in the XJ all the way back to 1984, but they had the three piece set up.

Best upgrade I've done was ditch the low pinon d30 on my 2001xj and 2004 lj

How do you change the differential angle ? Do you have to remove shock mounts etc and reeled them ?

Jeep sold us out before Fiat bought it. The meaning of "4 wheel drive" didn't change when Subaru invented the chinet version.

My diesel XJ has 3.73's and the HP30 front, but unfortunately generally XJ's came with D35's in the rear here (rarely did they have an 8.25). :( I'll be looking at doing the same mods to the 30 as you are since D44 fronts aren't something I'll be able to find easily here, not like the D44 rears which came stock in all Aussie TJ's.

I'm keen to see the progress in the next vid!

For the life of me, I could never understand why they redesigned the Dana 30 to decrease ground clearance and strength?

Just wondering if you have experience with the JK dana 30 front? is it worth upgrading/modding or are you better off buying a D44 front? I have a 2014 jk 2 door I purchased a few months ago and am going to start building for light off roading/snow wheeling and camping. I bought a sport because it was cheaper and in better shape. Most of the "rubicon" versions were hammered with high miles and over priced. I don't plan on a locker for the front but definitely one in the rear and will likely re-gear at same time. Probably not run over 33 maybe 34-5s but I tend to do lots of highway so like the lighter tires. Do you think the stock JK front is up to mild with occasional heavy use with smaller tires? I don't mind welding on some trusses/gussets if needed. Any information is appreciated.... been out of the game for quite a while ha ha, just don't want to spend good money after bad.
