Jeep 4.0L with Rubicon tires (30.6") and 4.56 ok?
 

I Have a 2005 TJ with 4.0L and 3.07 with 30.6 tires, in my next upgrade
i'm installing a detroit locker on the rear axle and a True Track in
the front axle with 4.56 Gears? What are your experience with this
setup?

I'm specially concerned about the gear ratio, since i'm not very sure
weather to install the 4.11 or the 4.56. I have not installed 33's
because I do not want to break an axle. but probably will.

Please any experience Will be of great help.

Wow dude, 4.56's with 30" tires is gonna be crazy to drive. I have 4.56's
with 33's and it's somewhat a short gear. I usually am shifting to 3rd by
the time I leave an intersection if I'm trying to be conservative about
driving. I would not put those gears on with those size tires.

I also have the true track up front and a detroit in the rear, but I first
had a dana35 in the rear with a truetrac and 33's, but switched to a danar44
with the detroit locker. I also had it geared to 4.11 first time, then when
I switched the rear ends went to 4.56.

Now being in Florida, with really no rock climbing the 4.11's would be
better for my fuel efficiency on the highway but I noticed when I was
running up sandhills n such that it would bog the engine a little so I
upgraded to the lower gears.

So if you are eventually going to put on the 33's and want a locker, I would
say just drive it around with the 30's and no driveline mods until you can
afford to do it all at once. I had the 3.07's with 31" tires and while it
wasn't a strong gear I just ran the rpm's a bit higher while offroad and had
no problems, even with open differentials. And don't put that locker on the
dana35 rear end you probably have, a guy did this in
town with 33's and broke an axle turning in a parking lot.

Was that an ARB forgotten to turn off ?

Yes I do have the Dana 35 rear axle, but I belive that if I go easy on
the throttle while turning I might get away without breaking my axles
right?
