What's wrong with the MDS? Mine performs just fine! 28 MPG really does help!

The technology is new and problems are bound to arise with it.

No
* Trust me, i am "Master Abuse Certified" * If i can tear up my font end with 31"s let alone my 33x12.50's (Sig Pic)
35"s are a no go.
Our front ends are just too weak (Shafts last longer than the diff)

If there is a dier need to run 35"s SAS front is required. If i did that the first time around i'd be rich with the money id save on front ends.

Well, To be quite frank, 35"s will require a strait axle swap (previously mentioned as a SAS)

I don't believe the durango is full width, and i don't know how wide it actually is, but my guess would be, you would need to have whatever axle you pick, shortened, And that can become costly, mind you, i haven't researched this, they're might be "the perfect swappable axle" but at this point, i would suggest a Dana44 or a dana60.

and to just give a really random off hand number on price for this swap, with a shop doing the work, i would say at least $3000

but, like i said, i haven't researched it.

It's about $5,000 to do the swap.

Finding the parts is somewhat the easy portion xD But the list always gets longer
Dana44 drivers side axle- cheap (If you go BJ and not KP- cheapest route/weak BJs)
Matching front gear ratios-?
Custom front drive shaft- ?
Custom drilled axle shafts- ? (Match stock bolt pattern/or change rear pattern)
I can go on and on.
You can go leaf spring on an sas for around $1800+ on a budget build. Linking (IMHO) is the only way to go if you actually plan to articulate, $2500 + easy.

Me, im going for broke. D60 4 linked on indp air
