Axle replacement. whats better?

#1
Hey you guys. Met some on you all sun at the Gulches and some of you heard me say my TJ fried the Dana 30 in it last Friday. Well I'm going to LKQ tomorrow and snag me a axle out of a xj. I also am going to look to grab me a rear out of a exploder or mountaineer. After talking to Jim he said he thought maybe a zj axle would be a better upgrade in the front.

What do you guys think or suggest?
Thanks

A zj tie rod? But last time I checked the zjs 30 is lp. You want the hp 30 if you are going to build a 30, and that comes out of a 98? And earlier xj.

What you break in your current 30?

Yea I was thinking that a ZJ was low pinion also. Better go with the XJ if you are going to take the time to pull one.

What gearing do you want or do you plan to regear? You want a big u-joint, high pinion, non-disconnect 30. All 95 and up are big joint, earlier ones are if they have abs. For the rear, you want a 95 - 01 explorer for disk brakes.
