Hi Thanks for all the amazing info on this site, I have a question on Gearing to 5.13's My current setup is 2004 Auto 42rle with Dana 44 Rear and Dana 30 front
with 3.73 gears currently and 33's (32 3/4?).
Currently has LSD Trac Loc. Do I need to replace these? or new carriers? Used 95% of the time for highway driving, also we're here in the south in sunny FL so no snow but plenty of thunderstorms and black ice on occasion.
From what I understand I would need Revolution gears thick Cut for the Rear and Since already on 3.73 the front Dana 30 would require Standard (not Thick Cut)
Question is on Trac lock LSD's do they have to be changed or can use the existing? if change what's the recommendation .
I'll start posting pictures of my build in a new thread, it's been a lot of fun!
 
Thank you for the Quick Reply! I've followed and used your advice multiple times for help with my Jeep!
Would it be a good idea to upgrade them to eaton true trac while everything taken apart? ( my Jeep is at 50k miles)
