i'm running 34'' tires and my stock gearing sucks. (97 tj 4.0) what gearing should i go for with my open diffs and stock axles. 4.11's or 4.88's. eventually i will upgrade to d44 axles so im happy with the open difs for now, just need better gearing. 4.11's are the 4 banger stock gears right? whatcha think?  -chris |

do not waste your money
get the axles you want now and gear them
do a hp front if you cant, and an 8.8 or 44 rear
or
find a set of 4 banger axles, geared 4.11 dana 30/35
i would not spend the money regearing trash axles

gears are $$$$$$$$ and setup is even way more $$$$$$$$$, do the gears in axles you are gonna run for a while

no, don't listen to them! just set up the axles in your current jeep. that way when the rr d35 blows up next week you can tell mommy and daddy that the jeep is broken and they will pay for the new hp 30 frt and 8.8 or d44 rr.
and as far as gear selection goes just go 4.88 and be done with it.

well 4.88's are the way to go, however I have to agree with everyone else that gearing a 35 isnt a great idea. Pickup a spare set of shafts.

Why not 4.56's? Middle of the road. ISn't it cheaper to buy a set of 4-banger axles and swap them in? Instant 4.11 gears, everything fits in one shot.... |

4.88's and dont look back. Dont gear the 35, its a waste of money. Try to find a tj 44, or an xj44 or 8.8 and have some brackets welded on it. It might be more expensive but the resale value on a bolt in tj 44 or 8.8 is much higher then a geared d35. In the long run you save $$.

What id your current gear ratio? Do you daily drive this? Do you see alot of highway usage? What type of off roading do you do, rocks? Mud? |
