So I know I have brought this up before but I am still in the same predicament I was 2 months ago. I need a new carrier in my rear Dana 44. My front 30 needs new ball joints, U joints all around and inner axle seals.
I am trying to make my jeep strong enough to install 37” tires with confidence.
I have been back and forth with multiple shops and can’t seem to figure out what to do. I am at a point where I need to spend a lot of money and I can’t decide how much I throw at 9 year old stuff.
A new fusion front axle and regear the rear axle new shafts and a locker. new front and rear drive shafts will cost me upwards of 15k.
Fusion 40/60 with a semi float rear 60 cost me 14k and that includes a complete front axle with rcv minus brakes with 40 spline rear axle runs about 13,9 before shipping.
I have mixed reviews on the semi float rear. Fusion says bent flanges are the weak point but they warranty them if they bend.
Dynatrac has an option like fusion but it only cost $11k but it uses a high pinion system. From what I can read most people say to stay away from them. The reviews on their page are all 5 stars.
If I go with 60s that’s like 17k and another 5k for wheels and tires. That would take me another year of saving and not wheeling my jeep at all.
Does anyone know anyone that runs a semi float rear? Do they love or hate it? At this point I’m months away from any solution and could use some input. What would you do?
