Default DANA 30 GEARS?

What is the biggest gears that you can put in a dana 30 front axle?

Like 4.56's or 4.10's the biggest you can go?

I want to run a dana 30 front and a dana 44 rear with 4.56's can i do that or no?

I'm running 4.88's in my D30 I think that's the limit, though.

You just have the dana 30 that came with your jeep or out of something else? Also what size tires are you running?

randys ring and pinion show the reverse cut gears and the jk gears in the same section. DO NOT buy gears for a jk dana 30 they will not fit

like 5.38 or something, doesn't really apply in your case as you'll need something to match the front. 4.56's are possbily the most common pair
