Too much on rear differential?

Hey Guys,
Will my Chevy 350 and 35 x 14.50 boggers be too much on my Dana 35? I know they are know to be weak axles.

Yep, too much. Those tires alone are too much, not to mention the 350 :shock: But you never know, you can always run that setup until in breaks, the replace the rear axle. I ran a hot 350 in my '88 YJ with 33"x9.5" MT's with no problem, with some decent fun wheelin. But then again I had the Peugeot BA10/5 transmission, so I through all common theories out the window :roll:

If you drive carefully it should be fine for awhile, but if you drive like me it'll break in a week or so. I say you invest in bigger axles and videotape breaking the 35.

it will have a 700r4 and my np 231. I don't rock climb either, muchless climb hills. Oh, I will think about that videotape idea. :wink:
