410 or 411 gear ratio Dana 30 and Ford 8.8
 

Hi,

I need to understand what option to go with. I am putting a Ford 8.8 rear
end on my 97TJ. A typical rear end ratio for the Ford is 410, while on a
Jeep it is 411. Maybe I am off base here, if so, just let me know. Should
I go with a 410 or a 411 ratio? I am currently running 3.55 front D30
with a D35 rear. My new (used) Ford 8.8 is 3.27, so I have to regear
anyways.

Thanks,

paul

Having 4.10 and 4.11 in the front and rear axles is normal, there is no
choice, such a difference is normal. Just about every 4x4 has a .01
ratio difference between the front and rear axle and it is because of
the two different ring gear sizes of the front and rear axles. Install
whatever is available, 4.10 or 4.11, in the 8.8 and it will be fine.
3.55 and 3.54, 4.10 and 4.11, 3.73 and 3.74 are all common combinations.

For 33" tires, I'd regear both axles to 4.56 though, and if you plan to
go to 35" tires, I'd regear to 4.88.

Hi Jerry,
I understand the greater the number the better off road. If this is my
daily driver, will 4.56 work on the hi-way for me? I am running a 4.0L, 5
speed.
thanks,
paul
