Prices to regear to lower gears
 

I am slowly working an getting my Jeep back on the road and one thing leads
to another.. Like upgrade ideas, improvements, ect.. I was wondering what
the average price is to regear to lower gear ratio... I have 4.10 in it now
and would like to go with 4.56 or 4.88 so I can run 33 or 35 tires and still
be able to use 5th gear.. I am going to call around today at some of the
local 4x4 shops and see what they charge.. But I would like to get an idea
of price so I can tell if I am being ripped off or not...

Thanks as always.. This group has been great for info and support..

Re: Prices to regear to lower gears
 

My last regearing was $1087 but that, at least here in the San Diego
area, was a better than usual deal. Skip over the 4.56 and go right to
4.88. There's not enough difference between your current 4.10 and 4.56
to warrant spending that much money. Besides, 4.88 is perfect for 33"
tires with your four-banger. I don't think I'd try 35" tires though.

Re: Prices to regear to lower gears
 

I recently paid $350 at a local shop to have gears installed in my TJ. I
bought the gears and install kits myself from the likes of Randy's R&P and
Quadratec. Check prices online for comparison to your local shop... they
may mark them up also. You should go all the way to 4.88 gears (I think
that's the limit in the Dana 35) with your 4 cylinder. I have a friend with
a 4 cyl YJ, 33's, and 4.56 gears that is not at all happy with his power and
5th gear use.
