Need to order some carrier shims for my ttb dana35, everywhere i find just the carrier shims for the jeep dana 35 but for some reason not the ranger dana 35. I dont see why they wouldnt be the same? Anyone know 100% from experience?

I would think so but dont quote me on it. I know TTB is reverse rotation and jeep dana 35 isnt, but....Not 100% sure

Talk to James Oaks Enterprises on here, Im sure he could hook you up with some if you just need shims.

My credo
If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning.
They listed my front Aussie locker part number for rear D35 Jeep applications. The carriers supposedly swap. I don't see why they wouldn't be the same.

The only hickup is being that $#@%*&^ changeover of the spider gear hub diameters.

I partook in that &*)@^## up change over. And cussed plenty about it.

I got screwed when I ordered my Aussie, and the side carrier gear hub diameter was smaller on the carrier than the locker. They wouldn't even exchange it for me.

I went out and bought a Lock-Rite.

Everyone just needs to keep, in mind, there are TWO possible part numbers for automatic lockers from both Aussie and Powertrax.

Which one will work for YOUR D35 is sort of a gamble.

As far as the original question, I see no reason why they would be different. But I cannot guarantee that they are the same.

Can you believe that crap. Confusing as heck.....still wonder why your older D35 has a larger hub diameter than mine does, 91 vs 96 :icon_confused:

Glad it all worked out though, could been worse.

The HP front D35 (TTB) has it's carrier shims outside of the carrier bearings (between the bearing and the housing), whereas a standard rear D35 (Jeep) I believe has the shims underneath it's carrier bearings. If so, they would definitely be different.


There's D35 install kits right here down at the bottom:
