XJ-92

OK im not sure if this belonged here or advanced but anyways right now i have a 92 laredo automatic with 4.0 and 3.55 gear with a 8.25 and dana 30, im looking into getting military takeoffs since i found a great deal on some i know that i am going to need to regear so that i dont destroy anything while offroad. what gears would you recomend i should get this is also my DD and wht are all the parts that i would need to make this work? thanks in advance

I'm running 4.56's with my 36's. I'd go atleast that or possibly 4.88's

XJ-92

how does it run with the 4.56s?

LH4X4

not too bad, but its hard to tell since my motor is so worn out. I wish i would have gone with 4.88's. Especially since I might go to a 38 later on.

with the 8.25 rear the tallest gear available is 4.56 i believe. or at least it was when i built mine the first time.i have a 92 also and i have been running 4.88 for many years with either 35's or 36's and it runs fine even towed the toys when it was a DD. 4.56 would be a whole lot better than whats in there now.

XJ-92

yea cuz i have 32s now and can feel a little bit of power lost so i think either one would be a good choice but i cant find anyone to sell a carrier for 4.56 or 4.88

KEEP WISHING

I'm running 4.56's with my 36's too.

If i remember right the carrier covers from 2.71 and higher. but with the 4.56 the gear place had to grind a couple teeth to fit the cross pin but i had no issues with it. just need to make sure you get the right spline either 27 ot 29.

thats probably why i cant find any carrier for the 8.25 and only the d30.

4.88's have been available for quite some time for the 8.25" axle.
