The 30 spline axles are stock, whatever that material is. I’ve have two different rear axles under this Jeep. I started with a centered pumpkin and now, the offset. Both axles in both assemblies have twisted splines.
Y’know, I’m not sure what the rotors are from. They came with the unfinished project. They also go on the back side of the axle flange. The calipers are GM truck fronts like from to 80s. |

The reason I went with the rear selectable locker was so I could install cutting brakes:
I think these would work better if I could disconnect the rear drive shaft. They don’t work on dry surfaces very good but I’ve learned that on slick or loose surfaces, they are very effective. Here is a sample: ... this creek bed is narrow and snakes back and forth with trees on the edges. The cutting brakes help me to stay against the banks They are a game changer when scrambling through the trees after the ATVs. They work real good with a little momentum.

Those rotors are Raybestos 3550R or equivalent.
Normally found in a late 70's CJ with heavy duty front disks. They use the chevy K10 bracket and caliper. On the cutting brakes, what keeps fluid from going back into the master cylinder?

Those look like the 2 bolt caliper version used from 78 to about 81 on the D30. The 6 bolt version is deeper. I think the Raybestos # is 3552R. The rotor thickness would be definitive.

Funny how things change over time. I was looking thru the early pages of this thread for something and came across the above quote Jeff made in 2014
