Thats the wrong dana 35 gear set.. Thats for a 2nd gen+..
IIRc, they call the one on the '92 a reverse rotation because of where the pinion is..
EDIT: I found a couple sets of 4.88's.. Motive and Yukon are both listed at this site.. Here is the yukon link.

AFAIK, no 1st gen x's came with a LS up front Stock, only the rears, and only with the 4.10's..
I have a Trac-Lok LS to install in the front, I've just been putting it off until I regear.. the 4.10's just aren't enough anymore.. and I have this feeling that I'm gonna end up in 35's.. which will make a whole new can of worms.. I'll need a bigger trailer

LS would probably be cheaper but nowhere near as good. I've heard of people with an aussie up front and have no driveability issue with it. I plan on putting an aussie in the front.

I'd expect the ausie to be much tigher.
I "think" that is what tbars is running and he just "loves it" when he tries to run the ditches in truckhaven.. lots of backing up. I think its better now that he uses an AGR pump.
I went with the trac-lok LS since it was cheap.. and I'm going to be adding another clutch disc to it (factory has one spot with 2 steel plates next to each other). This should make it tighter.. Hopefully not too bad, but I know a single locker in the rear just isn't enough anymore.

Do you have any more info on your front LS? A link maybe? How much? do they have it in a standard rotation? I would have tried to get one if I knew someone made a LS for the front on the Ford D35.

Mine is a reverse rotation.. and I bought it from RangerX
I don't have much info on it.. other than its a trac-lok (still not positive on the spelling).. And from I've been told, I don't need anything special to install it (other than normal gear install stuff)..
I kinda put it on hold when I decided I needed new gears too.. (4.88's).

yea that sounds like a plan an ls with an extra disc.i dont want mine real tight because most of the trails i run a tight and alot of turning and would like to keep both tires locked but really need something better than an open.i cant stand getting stuck and only one tire spinning up front,if i had two i probably wouldn't get stuck as much.but i dont want to pay an arm and leg for a locker up front.hey maybe we can get alot of people up for a group buy on 4.88

The owner of an off road park here has a friend that will add an extra clutch disc for $50 total. If I could get my hands on one....hmmm. Man I wish I had figured this out before we just did my gears last weekend! Always something!

I ran LS's in front and back for years, and lots of people thought I had lockers. Now that I do have lockers, it's a lot tougher doing tight turns on the trail.
I recommend the Detroit TruTrac. It's a gear driven LS, and much tighter (a good thing) than the Ford TracLok.

Its your front LS I'm talking about
From what I've read though, adding an extra clutch disc and removing one steel so it goes steel/clutch/steel/clutch etc will make it very tight.. I doubt as tight as a real locker (already have a detroit) but I've seen it mentioned it can make it harder to turn..

The lowest ratio I've been able to get is 4.56. I've had requests out the rear for 4.88 and 5.13's. I just can't get them. I was told they don't make them and never have..

I never had the Truetrac, I just always wanted it.
I had the TracLok up front, that Maniak now has. I bought it in 1996, for right around 200.
That Aussie is a good deal, just be sure you want a locker.
