If your running the standard xj rear end you will most likely end up snapping axles or C clips. Have you done a guard chop to fit the 35's ?. I hope you also have at minimum a 4.5" lift and extended bumpstops,lengthened brake lines and breathers. What rim offset are you running with the 35's and diff ratio?. Dont go wrecking it just to try to prove something. Just enjoy the fun and learn from it. I feel no need to go higher or further with what I have on mine. It does all I want and am happy with it. Dont go breaking things just to prove a point. You have an extremely capable off road vehicle. The xj may look low compated to lifted rigs running big tyres and such but with the right mind and a bit of thought you will be grinning from ear to ear where you truck can go. Believe me as I talk from experience of having a wicked gq. My two bobs worth. Post note... I just noticex that you drive a ZJ not an XJ. Oops...my fault. This throws a new ball into the ball park.

You obviously haven't fixed the problem, blaming an entire model due to lack of correct maintenance and/or repairs is absurd you have a problem that needs to be repaired but you seem more intent on blaming a model instead of fixing it properly......

Enjoy the big heap Nissan, when it plays up, drinks loads of fuel or gets driven past by an Xj you can then blame the Gq model......

But hey at least you'll have 35's and not an Xj...

CYA.....
