X2. But it's true that XJs are under geared from the start*

 

I picked up a 8.8 with disc brakes and a LSD with 3.73. I'm going to install it the way it is, see how I like it coming from the 3.07, then determine if 4.10's are necessary. I seem to get around just fine with the stock gears, 31's and the 5 speed. I'm always in low range on the trail so the only time I'm hating the gears is when I pull my boat. I'm hoping the 3.73 will do the trick!

 

Are we just assuming its an automatic? What about tire sizes? Increasing the ratio will not help mileage unless its currently under geared due to over sized tires.

 

He's got 3.55 now. Autos have 3.55 and manuals have 3.07. So everyone's assuming it's an auto

 

Yup. I'm a happy camper with 4.10s and 32's

 

True. So we're giving recommendations based on assumptions now? Still no word on his tire size either... Just sayin.

 

I went from a 3.07 and stock with a stick shift to 3.55's and 32's and it still feels like it did stock..

 

Do you have front 3.73 gears already. The PO swapped a new axle under my jeep from a tow package and I have a 3.73 ring pinion. And carrier. I have a 5 speed and will be putting 3.07 back in it so I can enjoy 4x4 capabilities

 

No I have 3.07 gears, only a problem when towing or steep grades.

 

I have a set of 3.73 if you plan on doin the front

 

Good lookin out, I may hit ya up when the time comes

 

If you want to sell that 3.73 -- shoot me an email
