With an AX-15 3.55:1 on 32s should put you at the stock final drive ratio... I've got 3.55s and 31s behind the shed for the spring, will put be slightly over

Ok I just got a lift on my jeep running 31s now I lost alot of torque as expected. I don't know much about gearing. I have a 5 speed manual trans. If I wear to change my gearing what should I change it to? And how hard is it to do myself? And what would it cost?

Check out:

If you're going to actually regear you need to think carefully about possible future upgrades. You don't really want to do it more than once. My 3.07 -> 3.55 is actually being done with a full axle swap in the rear. TJ owners eat HP D30s like crazy around here so finding a full one with 3.55s still in it is impossible. I'm going to have my front regeared and I have absolutely no plans to go any larger than 31s for a few reasons.

Gear prices range depending on new, used, axle, and ratio. Like I said, swapping axles from an Automatic-equipped XJ would be a cheap, easy solution. Actually doing the gear work is not beginner level stuff and should be done, or at least supervised, by a professional.

3.55 on 32s right now.

Torn between upgrading to D60s and 37s and going up to 3" lift or sticking with 2" on my stock axles on 33s when I buy new tires. Don't want to regear til I decide.

Yea that's what I figured. I'm wonder how 3.55 with 32s will effect my spedo, wonder of it will put it back to normal? I want 4.10 but these 3.55 axels will have to do till I find a deal on gears or pre geared axels

Mines pretty close, but once I get up to about 60-70 it's usually off by about 3-5mph. It'll say I'm going 63 and ill be going like 67 or 68 something like that
