What axles are in my 2000 Jeep TJ?
TJ Wranglers will have either a Dana 30 in the front and a Dana 35 in the rear unless you have a Rubicon model.
How does a Trac Lok rear axle differential work?
The differential allows solving this problem: it transmits torque to separate axles of both wheels (semi-axles) through its planetary mechanism with any ratio of angular speeds of the semi-axles. As a result, the car can move and drive normally, both on a straight track and in a curve.
Is the Dana 35 rear axle Posi trac Lok?
This is a genuine Dana Trac Lok differential for the Jeep Dana 35 rear differential with 3:31 or higher (3:08, 2:73, etc.) gear ratios and 27 spline axles. This kit includes ring gear bolts and differential side bearings. There are no reviews yet.
Which is the best rear axle for a Jeep Wrangler?

Why do Jeeps have different axles and differentials?
Stronger axles, different gear ratios, and even a tougher differential will help you tackle more difficult trails. Wranglers are known to have a terrain capable and rugged drivetrain. The solid axle design paired with an incredible 4WD system, provides Jeeps with a high degree of versatility and durability.

When to use a differential on a wrangler?
In conditions with poor traction like on snow, ice, or mud, where one wheel has less traction than another, the differential will send more torque to the wheel with more traction.
The Dana 30 will only be found as a Jeep front axle while the Dana 35 will only be found as a rear axle on Wranglers. Dana 35 axles have earned a very poor reputation in the off-roading world, however, it is a great axle for stock Wranglers.
What are the different types of differential locks?
There are different types of differential locks, but basically they are divided into two large groups: differentials, which are locked rigidly, 100% (so-called lockers), and anti-spin differentials (or LSD – Limited Slip Differencial). Each of these options has its advantages and disadvantages.
