Wait so you have stock gears still? A whole bunch of people said that the Chrysler 8.25 and the Dana 30 I perfect for the set up just depends on how hard you wheel it I guess idk

 

That Regear stuff is so much money though idk even know how to re gear it!

 

If your just going to dd it and wheel a little do 33s. Ive had both 33s and 35s. Hell..right now im on 3 inches and 35s with stock gears. 33s to me wasnt bad on stock gears, but then again I dont try to haul ***. 35s and stock gears...eh..I can tell they are there, and I will regear for sure. 35s look better, but are a little less practical for just daily driving and light wheeling. 33s will save you some pennies

 

So if I ever re geared what should I even get? I just went on the RC website and it said High Pinon Dana 30?

 

What year is your cherokee?

 

It's a 99

 

Then you have a high-pinion dana 30...
If you go 33s id say regear to 4.56..
Youll also need matching gears for your rear axle...
The dana 30 has a carrier break..so you would need a new carrier for your front axle, 2 sets of ring and pinions, and 2 master install kits..

All that from a vendor on here will run you right around 500 bucks, unless you know what your doing id have it taken somewhere to have gears installed, thats gonna cost another 500 or more.

For parts, and to have someone install your over a grand.

 

Ok what the hell is a carrier break? And matching gears I though they were all supposed to match?

 

Your dana 30 will need a new carrier for any ratio beyond 3.73...thats it "carrier break"
Your front and rear gears have to match..thats why you need a ring and pinion set for both.

 

Ok that's what I was thinking thanks for the help I would've never known this!

 

Yup, like i said 33s on stock gears, not horrible, but still not the best. 410s or 456s would be best for 33s.

 

Alright thanks! Do 4.10's cost less or about the same as 4.56?

 

Basically the same.
Message RWKHAWSESUPPLY from the vendor section of the site, he has good prices.

 

4.10 will suck with 33.

 

4.10s will only suck if you wheel alot and are intalling bumpers, winch and tire carrier.
if you do that and then add more stuff to carry around then you def want 4.56s atleast.

if its just DD and no added weight then 4.10s would be ok. but even then you will wish you went with 4.56s. Gearing for DD also depends on how hilly ur area is.

For me? i live in the flat lands..lol. I also don't wheel at all. I know what a waste.
but i am doin bumpers eventually and i will be DD again eventually, so i'm goin with 4.56s.

the diff between 4.10s and 4.56s is like 200 rpm. not enough imo to not go with 4.56s. 4.88s if you live in a hilly area. imo 5.13s if you live in a hilly area with bumpers and added wight in the back, etc and wheel alot.
