adding inches to 4 inch lift
Hello again. Finally found a dana44 rear end, and I'm having to have it
rebuilt... Replacing the dana35c before it breaks. ( maybe I'll break it and send the pic to Bill) Now, I have 4.10 or 4.11 gears, whichever they are, and 33 x 12.50's I'm wanting to get 4.56 gears, for more pep. I've heard that I can even run 35's with this gearing? In that case, I have the Pro Comp 4 inch lift kit, stage 1. Whatever that means. How much higher am I going to have to get that 4 inch lift to fit the 35's? Will a 1 inch body lift do? Or maybe the body lift and a 1 inch spring spacer? I have no idea what would be good, but I prefer something "proper". I"m open to any and all suggestions... Thanks in advance. Troy |
Re: adding inches to 4 inch lift
If you are going to 35's get the 4.88 gears.

Re: adding inches to 4 inch lift
First: What do you drive??? How do you drive???
Here are my thoughts/experience, anyway: If it's a TJ, I have one with a 4.5" RE lift and 35's. I get very minor rubbing, nothing too serious, but it does catch my attention when it happens. I_just_don't_like_body_lifts and don't feel the tall springs and the spacer lift is a good combo, so I live with it. If you don't mind the 1" body lift, go with that. I might also mention that I have the same gearing you have (4.10/4.11), and it is woefully inadequate in the more serious offroad situations with 35s. I live with it for now because I have a low range transfer-case and I'm not a rock demon. I would even consider going with lower gears than the 4.56s. Why spend all that money on a swap and go one size up, right? Go up two and make it right. (Of course you have to make sure your diffs will handle the gear size.) Troy wrote: > Hello again.

Re: adding inches to 4 inch lift
I assume you have a TJ. What motor/tranny? (very important for proper
advise!) My TJ has plenty of pep with my setup... a bit high RPM's at highway speed though (2750 RPM @ 70 MPH) for my taste. I would like to try a set of 35's for a day, just to see how it is then. I am pretty sure I can clear them for street riding. -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID, HEI 4.56 Gears, Lock-Right F&R 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, D30 Front.
