What I have is basically stock suspension maybe later I will add some lift. Since I am re gearing a Dana 30 hp which only reason I did the hp was to get away from the crush sleeve and to build it and be able to drive my jeep tj still. My question instead of buying all adjustable control arms...

I picked up a dana 30 high pinion out a 1989 xj Limited and no it does not have the CAD system. Picture added so the topic doesn’t run off track. It’s stripped down ready for sandblast and painting. The pinion depth shims are shim behind the inner bearing race along with a baffle. The pinion...

2006 jeep LJ dana 44 rear axle trac lok 3.92 and up part number? Anyone know it? I have searched and all I keep seeing is 3.73 and down. Thanks Chris

I know about the truetracs but not really wanting to spend that much for one. I don't mind having to rebuild the limited slip and don't mind having to add the friction modifier. This is basically all stock TJ may try and squeeze some 32s on it. Rear is a dana 44 from a LJ I am rebuilding...

So Yukon master overhaul kits are quite expensive but look like a good assortment of shims over motive gear brand. What brand over haul kits do you all recommend ? Both kits seem to have timken bearings with is good. Same goes with gears what brand is a good quality brand or should I stick with...

Does anyone have a Timken part number for inner and outer Pinion bearings and races? Crown uses Timken but they want way too much money for them. Would be nice to go to the source to buy. I found Timken carrier and axle shaft bearings from rock auto but don't see timken pinion bearings. Thanks

I’ve read a lot of past reviews. On this forum and others. I have a 1998 TJ manual with ax-15 trans 4.0 engine currently at dry rotted 31x10.50x15 and 3.07 gears. I want to regear a dana 44 I picked up. I am debating if I will stay with 31’s or go with 32’s. This is a drive around town maybe...

This is quite depressing I ordered what I would hope is a good brand from rock auto which is a Carter fuel pump assembly for it to be totally dead. 5 gallons of gas in the tank it reads full but does not pup fuel. I start really really digging in researching all these brands and Denso and Bosch...

Just found this old post and am in same situation. My 1998 TJ I need to replace all stock suspension and rock auto and all MOOG parts minus shocks put me at 746 and a 2 inch lift makes no sense as it will cost me way way more. I have same setup with one inch body lift. What gearing do you have...

What brand SYE are you running? I'm probably going to rebuild my transferase after finding water in it and I too have no lift at all and running 31's... I may or may not lift it one day and I had always wondered if I could rebuild and add a SYE and just have a driveshaft made to length. I plan...

I'm gonna re gear it myself. I have a couple people around me I could probably ask to double check my work. I have pretty all the tools to do it, so I look at it like if I mess up I'll gear it to the right gear anyways. I know what you mean though I don't want to under gear it but shit 373 or...

I have 3.07 and 31's now regardless I need a gear change. I'll ride in a friends jeep with 3.73 and 31's and go from there. He pretty much has everything the same as mine as far as transmission tires and engine. I'm in Louisiana it's flat as shit here unless I go to shreveport and it gets kinda...

I did that are those numbers accurate, to what my jeep would actually run? I honestly don't know what is the specs for a 1998 TJ 4.0 rpm suppose to run at?

3.07 and 31's actual 30.5 is absolutely shit no doubt, you get in Mountains of Colorado and will be downshifting to 3rd gear with the 18 wheeler truckers. Been there done that it sucks. 3.73 in my mind may not suck but after what my friend said its possible it still could be shit.

Thanks, I believe I'd be comfortable in going with 4.10 gears. Friend has I think a 2000 Jeep TJ exact setup, same tires and motor setup but has Dana 44 3.73 gears and NV 3550 transmission and said his is a slug. I'm headed to Alaska to work the summer so when I come back I'll go take a ride in his...
