I have a 98 TJ, 4.0, 5 speed with dana 30 front, 35 rear, 3.07 gears and found someone selling a dana 30 front with spartin locker and dana 44 rear that have 3.73 gears from a 99 TJ. I would prefer 4.56 gears to allow for larger tires in the future, but the budget is pinned at this point. Going from 3.07 to 3.73 with 32 inch tires will give me some benefit, and for $600 I am happy with it.
My question...is there anything I should do to the axles before the swap in terms of cleaning, diff oil change etc.... Once I have that done will there be any special tools needs for the swap, or it is just undo bolts, drop axle, put new axle in, tighten bolts?
Once complete I doubt there will be any demand for the old axles, is there scrap value in them?
