Front Axle Assembly recommended with diesel engine

[JAFHR]

I'm looking for recommendations for a full front axle assembly for a 67. The dana 30 will snap like a twig if I get on it I believe. Any idea of companies and Cost

Get on it as in crawling, sand, etc or on the road? What are your plans for the bronco?

From his other post, sounds like he is looking at a 4BT.

Besides an engine, what are your plans? How much tire? How will it be used?
A small tire highway cruiser can run the 30. Crawling on 40+" tires with a heavy foot is going to take a built 60. I can only guess you are somewhere in between.

My friend had a cj7 with built 401 Dana 30 it survived with 33 s

I grenaded D30's with stock G78x15" tires and a 289... several...

By asking this question your planning on doing something so Go with the biggest one you can't afford, because if you go with the one you can afford it will dollar you to death in the end!

The 4BT is heavy, but only about 250lbs more than an all iron 302. SO, that is only about 125 lbs more per corner. I doubt that will destroy the 30 for street cruising.

For trail use, probably a 60.
