Sweet don't buy wild country mts louder than bloggers

 

Bloggers, eh? lol

 

ok so this has prolly been asked in here but i didn't want to read 408 pages so how much trimming will i have to do to run 33's on a 3.5'' RC lift on a zj?

 

What gears for 31s? 373? 410s?

 

what gears do you currently have.. from what i know you don't need to go to 410 till you get to 35's and up.

 

No need to re gear for 31's. 33 is really the biggest I'd go without re gearing but is recommended.

 

And yeah once you hit 35's it would be dumb not to.

 

Well I'm Going to swap a 8.8 in and was wondering what the best gear ratio axle would be

 

Are you planning on bigger tires in the future? Cause I know alot of people will tell you that the d35 is crap, but it should handle 31's fine unless you really beat on it. Save some money if you can.

 

Yeah I'll be going to 32 11.50s or 33 12.50s later down the road but prolly not for a while

 

Hmm well, I run 32 11.50 tires on my d35 and have been a bit rough on it and it still works fine. Although if you do want to change the gear ratio to handle a larger tire, then the d35 really isn't worth it.

 

But hey if you do swap it out you'll be more than strong enough for 31's.

 

What axles would you suggest for 33s?

 

I'll be going to 32 or 33s later so that's why I plan to do the swap. Plus I can get a 8.8 with 4.10s and factory ls for a good deal. Would 4.10s be too low for 31s? Should I go 373s? Thanks

 

Using the dana 35 would be pushing it depending on what kind of wheeling you do. Many jeeps came with the chrysler 8.25 which should be an easy swap I imagine, i've never done it though. I'd guess if they were made to fit a jeep and the suspension is pretty much the same for all xj's you could probably find a scrap yard one. The 8.25 is a good axle and I'm lucky enough to have one in the jeep I just started to build. Plus if you got one off of a jeep that had the factory tow package, it would have 3.73 gears.
