Exactly. For those 35s you won't see that much of a difference, unless you got a stick.

 

Plus 8.25's didn't come with 4.10's.

4.56's if it was a 97+ with a tow package.

 

agreed. but only when in a re-gear situation. getting a dirt cheap 30 with 4.10's already in it and swapping out the rear for an axle with 4.10's already in it should be much cheaper than a full regear. which is why I support the axle swap idea

 

But..... A d35 with 4.10's for 35's is a "better option"? Lol

I'm gonna place bets that this 8.25 ain't a 8.25. 4.10's would of been swapped in.

 

I just did a build sheet search from Chrysler.

A 4 cylinder jeep only came with a d35 and 4.10's unless its a Canada sold jeep then a very rare option was 4.10's in a 8.25 with a 4 cylinder.

 

I was referring to an 8.8

 

First trail after I bought my YJ. Broke spider gears. 33" tires on D35. Ford 8.8 went in shortly after.

 

Yes they did 2wd 4cys have them 9/96 and up

Im running one found at local u pull ...

 

Jealous

 

That my friend is a lie. Last month I just swapped in a 8.25 with 4.10 out of a 4cyl xj. I'm also running 35s. Not bad at all.

 

What year was if out of?

 

Then the interwebs lied to me lol

 

I think a 94? I'm not 100% sure when I saw it in the jy I dropped my tool bag and started tearing her out

 

I've got a 8.25 with 4.10's also out of a 4 cyl.

Not running 35's, i'm still on 33's. When these babies run down, I think I'm going to make the jump though.

 

Tow packages never came with a 4.56 gear in any axle let alone a 8.25. Lsd and 3.55 or maybe 3.73 4.10 in an factory 8.25 are rare. Swap a dana 44 rear regear front and rear to 4.88 and call it a day. Stock dana 30 will hold up. Go to you tube and type in my screen name xjseth look for the video on holy cross. All dana 30 stock everything. It sucked being undergeared sometimes but still held.
