This is a street machine maybe a camping trip here and there. Not really worried about strength. I won't be wheeling it.

I was just looking at the dana 30 and dana 44. Can get them with 3.73s and I think an lsd. So I don't have to regear, the only thing I'd be losing is the hubs. Which I think I'd trade for bigger brakes better steering and rear discs.
The current axles are in who knows what condition, 2.72 gears. The thought is I'd actually be ahead money wise swapping to a jk axle and suspension by the time I rebuild both axles and all the suspension anyway. Maybe I'm wrong

Jk axles are also a little wider right?
