Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front
Jim,
Yes, I saw Bill's list, and believe it to be absolutely correct -- that you
will have to replace the carrier in most cases. But I'm also sure that
replacing the carrier is not necessary if one is to also install a LockRight
at the same time, since installation of the LockRight replaces the spider
and side gears that live inside the carrier. These new LockRight spider and
side gears are specifically for a given gearing.
Taking out the stock carrier, I removed the 3.07 ring gear, removed the roll
pin & cross shaft, dropped out the old spider/side gears, bolted the new
4.56 ring gear down on the stock carrier, installed the LockRight into the
carrier (with the new spider/side gears), reinstalled the carrier in the
D30, and all was well.
Thanks,
Terry.

Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front
The Lock Right has nothing to do with the ring, pinion, and carrier
combination, it simply replaces the spider gears. The Lock Right part
number is based on the axle and spline count, not the gear ratio. The 4.56
ring gear/pinion combination will not fit on the 3.07 carrier. There are
other locker systems that replace the carrier, but I am not familiar with
them.

combination, it simply replaces the spider gears. The Lock Right part
number is based on the axle and spline count, not the gear ratio. The 4.56
ring gear/pinion combination will not fit on the 3.07 carrier. There are
other locker systems that replace the carrier, but I am not familiar with
them.

Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front
The Lock Right has nothing to do with the ring, pinion, and carrier
combination, it simply replaces the spider gears. The Lock Right part
number is based on the axle and spline count, not the gear ratio. The 4.56
ring gear/pinion combination will not fit on the 3.07 carrier. There are
other locker systems that replace the carrier, but I am not familiar with
them.

Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front
My 4.56 ring gear did fit on the stock carrier, and I successfully used the
combination I speak of for about 6 years, Jim.
I know I'm not hallucinating (today) :))

Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front
Hey guys, I'm not suggesting anybody is wrong. All I'm saying is I don't
recall having to replace the carrier in my D30 whenever I made this swap
back in spring of '96. The 4.56 ring bolted onto the stock carrier, and I
used it until about 4 months ago. If I hadn't taken the old D30 to salvage
last month, I'd go open it up and take a look. Both the CJ and the TJ use a
non-reverse cut D30, whereas the YJ uses a reverse-cut. Maybe this is the
difference -- I don't know. One thing is for sure: either it fit the stock
carrier on my 92YJ or all those brain cells I destroyed at a younger age is
starting to catch up with me!! :)
Cheers,
Terry.

Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front
Hey guys, I'm not suggesting anybody is wrong. All I'm saying is I don't
recall having to replace the carrier in my D30 whenever I made this swap
back in spring of '96. The 4.56 ring bolted onto the stock carrier, and I
used it until about 4 months ago. If I hadn't taken the old D30 to salvage
last month, I'd go open it up and take a look. Both the CJ and the TJ use a
non-reverse cut D30, whereas the YJ uses a reverse-cut. Maybe this is the
difference -- I don't know. One thing is for sure: either it fit the stock
carrier on my 92YJ or all those brain cells I destroyed at a younger age is
starting to catch up with me!! :)
Cheers,
Terry.
