beefing up the front and rear end

[punkguitarbs]

Alright i am now going to start saving up for my 6 inch skyjacker lift and i wanted to fit it with 35's but my problem is that i still have a bone stock front and rear end. Obviously i have a dana 35 TTB front end with 28 spline axles and i have a ford 8.8 with 28 spline axels in the back. Bacisally what i am looking for are the perfect ingrediants to make a bullet proof front and rear end without doing an axle swap or a SAS in the front. I need something that will be able to take heavy off-road abuse and handle the 35 inch tires. Any input is greatly appreciated. thank you!

Your rear end is acutally 31 spline. The front can handel 35"s but to be on the safe side your best bet is to swap a set of d44ttb outers on it. You can also swap a full set of d44 ttb's on it but will be more work than necessary. The 8.8 is a pretty darn strong axle .

Thanks For you help, i was wondering if i could get d44ttb outers new from a store maybe a ford dealership? Also is there anything else that i can do to make them stronger? I just dont want to break that much if i go wheeling. would you recommend getting stronger axle shafts? i just want to make it bullet proof or as close to it as possible. Thank you again.
