Front Axle help
I just bought a '94 cherokee that has already had some work done to it. The down side to this awesome new truck is that the frontend is shot. The truck had 4.56 gears in it when I bought so is it pretty much gonna be impossible to find a front end with 4.56 gears in it? can I put a front end it it with 3.73 gears in it or will this screw up my drive train If I just run it in 2wheel till I can get the gears for the back match?

I did my gears on my k10 a few months back and had the same problem. Turned out that I actually didn't set the gears up correctly. Removed and reinstalled and worked just fine.

If the jeep gets 10 miles to the gallon an hour drive is atleast 60 miles, that's 24 $ there and 24$ backso that would be 150 for your JY motor. So offer him 150 and come out even.
