Hey everyone. I am an am impass here and can't decide if doing an axle swap and regear is a good idea. Now you may be thinking, "well if you think its not a good idea, then it probably isn't". True. But thats not good enough....I want to make my jeep better...and Im currently running mostly stock like this...
1999 TJ 6 cyl Auto
4" lift with stock suspension config
Dana 30/35
BFG KO2 33s
I do some occasional off roading, as much as FL can offer and when I wheel I don't do too much crazy stuff. I dont have lockers so that should tell you about how much I can/cant do, but I am contemplating this setup....
axle swap 8.8 with 3.73 gears in the back
keeping the Dana front regearing to 3.73
I want opinions/thoughts/advice on whether you guys think this is overkill, not enough, or am I right to be on the fence about doing this....
