Why not toss some yota axles under it?

they meet the requirements and they're stronger than D30/35 stuff

d30 and d35 ... fine if you only want 32" tires.

I think that the "foreign" axels are going to get into this list soon (experts on zuks/yotas should contribute).

I like these sort of lists, never going to be the definitive word, but a decent basis to work from (i.e. what is a reasonable basis for 35's, etc).
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it.

Wow..

so your frame can't be higher than 24"?

The only requirements here is that something that passes for a bumper both front and rear can't be any higher than about 31", headlights can't be higher than 54", and tail lights can't be higher than 72". Then you just need to have some kind of fender flare and mud flap to cover the tires up.

I know that the guys with the blazers and broncos that jack themselves up can easily pass 24" at the frame.

:P

I see people break that law all the time.

At one time they were trying to pass a no lift law.  At least that one got stopped.

that is mostly BS.  axle to tire ratio has alot of factors in it.  weigh being the biggest one.  a D44 under a full size truck isn't the same as a D44 under a a tracker.  i think 38's with a D44 is farly strong under a tracker, on the other hand, 38's and a D44 under a full size...BOOM

After seeing a Dana 44 it looks pretty bomb proof. a guy here has 44" tyres to go on the dana 44 but it will probably run on a sammy chassis not sure on the shell will post pics when its done but that might be some time

God damn, you gotta be kidding me. :o

Of course it really seems like it's only a technicality up here, as there are tons of trucks around here with more than 24" at the frame. BTW, is that the highest or lowest point?

Also, do you know if there's any other regulations like tire size and whatnot? Seems like my uncle said something about bumpers aren't supposed to stick out more than 10" or something like that in front of the grille... ???

Dana 30 is a good axle on something light like a zuki.  I abused one for years on a cj-5 with no problems.

CJs are where to find passenger side diff dana 30s.  
Forget the 35 though. It's weak and it's a c-clip axle (wheels fall off if it breaks).

AMC 20 with one piece shafts would be cool on a tracker.
