So after doing a ton of research at work last night, don't judge to much, and a little more at home I'm writing this to get my thoughts in order and maybe get a few things explained a little better.
Vehicle: 2006 LJ with Dana 30/44, 42RLE, 33" tires, and stock differentials and transfer case.
Stuff I understand mostly:
I should be using 5.13, 4.88, or 4.56. Using the GrimJeeper calculator I'm thinking 4.88 or 4.56 to keep the revs sub 2500 when I'm at highway speeds
Eaton Truetrac and Torsen differences are splitting hairs
Between reading Blaine's comments on dealing with OX and my newish knowledge on cables Manual lockers are out
Air vs Electric is more asking where I'll be and what I'll be doing to figure out what my situation calls for
Lunchbox and Detroit's aren't the greatest for my common snow drives, but Truetrac styles can be good
Stuff I need help on:
I read Jjvw's write up on the York air system and found some old Jerry posts to push me in the right direction, if I choose to go air is there an easy reducer to get the PSI down for the lockers? I just took a pneumatics class so I know they exist but the ones I learned about were a little big for the application
I'm probably going 4.56 for the time, though that'll change every other second until I spend the money, I seem to recall seeing the Non-Rubi differentials require nonstandard gears, thick cuts I think, if this is true I'm guessing I should get the gears and carriers done in one go.
There will definitely be more when my brain isn't on overload any more. If anyone can confirm I'm at least pointing the right way it'll be greatly appreciated
