Default Good Deal on Gears??

I have a 1998 xj limited with (i think) 3.55 gears. I am running 32"s and it is no fun to drive I am looking at oputting 4.11's in it. Are these a good price:

I would need the carrier for the front so + another $70. then of course pay someone to put them in. Does anybody know of a place near asheville NC that can do this?

most shops will charge up to 500 labour for each axle. so factor that with the cost of parts.
but i know a couple fellow builders/wheelers here that will do if for as low as 100 bux each if the axles are out already or free if you're his friend. beers optional, of course....

fair enough just make sure you do all your research before you drop the coin on 4.10's or any gear for that matter.

i would still do the 456 it will help your mpg and make it easier to get to speed on the freeway. the 410 will not be that much of a difference with the 32's

I have 4.10 with 31" tires at 60 with the TC locked the RPMs are around 1200 thats a little low for the 4.0 to have good response
I wish I had the 4.56

well it sounds like the 4.56 is a better option then. I went by this chart:

that chart is fairly accurate
I don't know if the mileage part is right
and the closest to stoke part is part right you will be back to stock RPMs
but not stock power
its a mechanical thing that is hard to explain

Go to Complete Offroad they have the best price. Also Jeepin Outfitters. Both of those have the lowest prices on Yukon Gears that I have found.

Yukon is the only way to regear!
