I agree with MyLittleCJ5
Stock axles will work with 35 inch tires (that's what I have) but you need to replace the rear axles with one piece axles.

Alright, thanks
If I decide to use 33"s maybe i'll try it with the axles completly stock.
If/when I have trouble with it, I'll switch to the solid axle.

My 20 & 30 is still alive with 33's and a 350 sbc.
Plan on 1 piece axles though as the stock 2 piece axles WILL FAIL.

One piece axles are manditory on these units. Don't waite just get them.

I agree.
The two piece axle is THE worst designed part on any CJ

What level of abuse does it take to cause the two piece axles to go ?Can I get by on the trails with little or no rock crawling and the afore mentioned 33's ?
Has anyone gotton by without the change over to a one piece ???
THANKS...

I also spun one on the street- in my opinion the peace of mind is worth the cost and it is not difficult to do if you take your time. Limping home on the front axle sucks.

IMHO these guys either already have 1 piece axles and don't know it,
Or they they will be spinning a hub anyday now.
