The Jeep family is aswmoee to be in if you're ready for it. BUT I do have to agree with I dont know you on the axle worry. The second I saw TJ-X and 35 I cringed. I have a TJ-X which just means it's the bottom of the line 6 cyl model. If you have the upgraded Dana 44 option your lucky but you mostly likly have a Dana 30 up front with a 35 rear. Those axles with that tire size is NOT a good combo. To check easily go to the back and climb under the gas tank. If the diff is more oval its a 35 back 30 front. If it's closer to a right pointing triangle (over the oval shape, rounded edges with more corner curvature then a triangle) with the housing having clearance for the gearing, you have a 44 front and rear. (Both have 10 bolt pattern. 44 s are more staggerd one the 3rd left to right.)EDIT: DO NOT VOTE ME BEST! I don't know you had the same oppinoin before I did. I just wanted to make sure you knew Dana 35 s and 35 tires do not mix at all, you'll break an axle the first time one of your tires hooks on a rock while you were spinning to get traction!Some people have gotten away with Dana 35 s in sticky situations. I know a guy who swaped a LS1 (corvette motor) and did a 35 for awhile till he swapped for a Ford 8.8. (STRONG AXLE) I'm just sayin as he did, it wont last you. 44 s are great but 35 s are rubbish. I have one, sad but true.
Strong point:
