4.10's for a manual
4.56's for an auto

and to get them, i saw some good deals for sets on ebay, and on a reputable site somewhere too. google might be your best friend on a good deal

I'm Coping & Pasting my answer from your other tread!

With 32.s and maybe even the 33.s Id go with the 4.10's, it will be better on the Highway and they are a lot stronger then the 4.88's, What are you running now? I have 4.56 with detroit locker in the rear in my CJ-7 and would rather have the 4.10's sometimes (9" Ford & Standerd Trans).
I vote for the 4.10 with a Detroit or ARB Locker.

Then if you need more power, well you know now you have an reason to go after the motor!

4.10 would get my vote.

Ive found 2 factory 4.10 8.25's behind 2wd 5 spd cherokees...... $100 ea
never had payed any attention to the 2wd rears and just happened to look up under one one day and there was the first...... found the other a couple weeks later.

For my front 4.10s I found a used wrangler dana 30 with factory 4.10s for $75 and had that carrier and gears swapped into my diff.
Seems I see a lot of 4.10 wrangler axles for sale cheap from people upgrading to full size etc..... most XJ guys over look them since they are leaf spring vs coil and wont bolt in.

x2 on the 4.56s Puts you as close to stock as possible with 33s and 32s, with your auto tranny.

Don't go 4.88s unless you are going to put 35s on it. Let me see if I can find the chart.

Found it

Stock


with 4.56s

Sweet, thanks for the chart, that helps.
Got one of those for 4.11's so I can see the difference?
