Yeah, I'll upgrade later.. I just want to get them cleaned and get this mother trucker on the road

 

That's fine. The writeups for the upgrades have instructions on cleaning them. But to be honest if you have them out I really don't see any reason to put them back, for all the hassle that cleaning them actually is.

 

How do I tell which gears to get for my axles?

 

What axles do you have?

Buy gears for those axles.

 

I have Dana 30 front and 8.25 rear. I'm not sure if they are 27 or 29 spline.

So, is a double shear track bar necessary if I'm not wheeling? I'd like it to be double shear but the only track bar I'm seeing for my height (2.5") is the JKS, single shear.

What about getting/making a track bar bracket? Can I just turn the end of a JKS bar and bolt it in double shear?

 

Not necessary, but I still recommend it. It's stronger and won't wallow out the hole. No TREs to worry about, either.

Yea that's what I don't want to deal with. Wallowed out track bar mounts, f that noise.

The IRO bar is what I had my eyes on, but their 0-3" option has disappeared.

 

I just noticed that after I posted the link. I've emailed Zack, and I'll post up as soon as I get a reply.

 

Right on.

 

The 27 spline 8.25 has a collar by the pinion that the 29 spline doesn't. Iirc 29 spline started late 96

 

The track bar on their site has been redesigned for 3-8" of lift. I'm awaiting a second reply to learn the reason for the change and whether or not the stock length track bars will still be available.

The info is in the link I gave him. Give a man a fish...

 

Just making sure, didn't want to get the Wrong set of gears. I'll be getting 4.10s or 4.11s from Yukon. Hopefully when I get new gears it will make the Jeep a little bit faster

 

lol, just doing my part : p
