I am considering this same arrangement for my '96 XJ. Do you like it so far? I have the Dana 35 in the rear with a factory LSD and I am going to put a Spartan in the front. Eventually, it is going to get a Ford 8.8 in the rear and I am going to save up for a Dana 44 for the front, but want to try the Spartan in the Dana 30 for now.
@bestracer500 Do a google on an open differential, one for an LSD, and then search a locker. A locker locks both axles together if there is any slippage. I feel the best for the money -- by researching -- is the Spartan. Going from an open diff to a limited slip is awesome, but going to a locker is unreal in the traction gain.
i have that same front skid plate on mine. do you know what brand it is? they guy i bought it from said he pulled it off of a baja cherokee in a junk yard
Thanks for the comments. Spartan locker is great off road, clicks on the street. The front bumper is JCR offroad, they make clean looking stuff. Yes, thats the upper rock face on expressway at Walker Valley ORV, WA.
hey man sick xj! what size and type of lift are you running?
