What all upgrades do I or should I have to run 35's on my 98? I have a HP dana 30 in the front, 29 spline 8.25 in the rear. Stock 3.55s.

 

Deep pockets

 

Gear it and run it.


IF it rubs, trim it and bump it.

IF you're heavy on the throttle and start breaking things. Time to upgrade the axles.

 

you can get away with just throwing 35s on. but IMHO the steering and brakes on a 30 are no where near adequate.

YMMV

 

What do you reccomend for steering? I have a v8 zj tierod right now.

 

I wore out zj tie rod ends left and right with 35's. time for a 1 ton steering upgrade

x1000 for regearing on 35's

 

I plan on re gearing. what gearing do you reccomend?

 

4.88's

I still have to be able to go highway speeds, will 4.88's be able to go 70? and I have bout 3.5 inches of lift. have 5.5 coils in the garage waiting to go on, just have to get a few more parts. I am running 33 inch tires at the moment.

 

automatic trans + 33's = 4.56 gears

80mph no problem. loved it. but the automatic/4.56 leaves something to be desired when you make the jump to 35's

 

I ran 75mph with no issue with 30in tires and 4.56 gears

 

Any brand gear I should look for and how hard is it to install gearing?

 

An angle grinder.

 

not easy

just uninstall your axles, empty them, and take them to a gear shop. they should be able to install your new gears for $100-$200
