Re: 93 YJ rear end
I have very limited knowledge of rear ends,,,,,
So you're saying that the 35 even geared up may not be sufficient,,, is the
difference between a 35 and 44 axle diameter?
thanks again

Re: 93 YJ rear end
Most of those fools deserved to blow things up... I sure didn't see
many 31's in those photos either. LOL!
Your 35 should do just fine with the stock gears unless you plan on some
insane off roading.....
