Jeep build help

Yea i took it to a lift shop and they told me its the d35. So whats better, 8.25, 8.8 or d44??? Also wat do i do about that d30 in the front?? Or does it hold the 33s good??
I can probably find one in a junk yard but wouldent know if its in working conditions. Or would i rather get a new one?

Your d30 will be up to the task. If I were you id look for a 29 spline 8.25...the 8.8 requires some welding skills. The d44 is a tank but they are a little harder to find and.typically more expensive

The cover style and the flat bottom of the diff are a big giveaway.
And the fact that you have an 01 means its the 29 spline version
