Re: Gears & Lockers
 

The 8.8 I hear are nice, a friend has this in his exploder but with 33's his ground clearance sucks, put 35's and up and the clearance of course improves Where having a dana 35 or even a dana 44 and 33's the bubble is not so large and trail clearance is better. So you get something bigger, stronger, and loose clearance or go the other way and drive like You own the truck.

I'm runnin stock 4:10's in my '98 TJ 4cyl with 33x 12.5 inch tires ( no lockers) :( If it was the 4 litre it might be O.K. but as it stands 5th gear is usless for ANYTHING! On the highway at about 100km/h I'm running about 3000RPM in 4th, if I go to 5th it falls on it's face! 4:88's will bring it pretty close to stock

I have a 2000 tj that now has a dana 44 rear with a lock-rite.The locker is quite loud when tight turning at slow speed

Re: Gears & Lockers
 

if i was going to regear to 4.10s i would look for axles out of a 4 cylinder model,most came factory with 4.10s,then you would have spare axle shafts,i have a lunch box locker in the front it does take some getting used to in 4x4 but in 2 wheel drive i dont even know it is there

Doesn't matter anyway, you don't do any real trails! :cheeky4:

Re: Gears & Lockers
 

I would contact dealer and check if your diff. will take the gears. Some diffs. are limited to how deep they'll go.

Since when do you drive a REAL 4by4? Thought you were running those toy thingies? lol
