    Re-gearing

    I know there’s probably 5000 of these posts but you guys are extremely specific and helpful, so I’m gonna ask. I have a 2003, stick, 2.3 wrangler that had 33’s on it when I bought it. It was a dog. 5th gear was completely useless. I went down to 31’s and it’s much better. My question is, what...

I’ve tried to get the gear marking right a few times and I can’t seem to get it right, I was real close but it was slightly too deep so I pulled a shim from behind the pinion race and put in one that was just a...

    2004 Jeep LJ Auto 42RLE Dana 30/Dana 44 Have 35s waiting to be put on. I’ve seen recommendations for my setup at 5.38 gears, but the front Dana 30 can only do 5.13. Should i try to find a front rubicon Dana 44 to get the larger size R&P to fit? Plan on building both axles up to support 35s with either choice...

What gear ratio should I run on 35” mud tires, 4.0...

    Trying to figure out what gears I should run

    I have a 2006 TJ 4.0 automatic trans. I also have a 3.25 lift with 33x12.5 tires. I use this Jeep as a daily driver and would like to have somewhat good gas mileage but I like to have a little bit of power. When I go up the mountain, the Jeep will change gears and then bog down really hard to...

    Lift concerns

    Hey guys, first time post.. I've recently noticed my rear shocks are toast. Looked at getting 4 new nitro shocks, which are expensive so I started looking at lift kits.

    Proper Gear Choice

    Specs: 2001 4.0 Dana 44 Rear Dana 30 Front 32RH Auto Current ratio is 3.73 Research says that the "proper" ratio is 4.10. The question, is it worth the money to swap from 3.73 to 4.10?
