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

yes, you will be fine. you may want to re gear to get your power back, but the axle will be upgradable an worth re gearing for your intended use.
