My original idea was to swap my Dana30/Dana44a to JK Dana 44 font/rear, but I'm having issues finding one for a good price. I really don't wont to buy front for $2800, rear $1800. Now, what are my other options? My end goal is to run 35"s. I want to get to the trails and not worry about axle breakage. I'm starting to consider Waggy. I'm sure there are people on this forum who did the swap. How much will the rebuild coast me if i do the work myself. Also which rear axle would best match up with Waggy? My overall budget for axle build front/rear is $3000.

Put a truss on that 30. These things will flex throwing the ring gear and pinion gear out of alignment causing them to strip out.
A truss and a heavy duty diff cover will go a long ways to getting rid of that problem.
I agree with much that has been said here. Build the 30, and enjoy the lighter weight. If you break it, go find a 60.
I've built mine up quite a ways and still plan on swapping 44 outers onto it. I have everything but the bolt patterns worked out.
