Default ARB Lockers - Dana 30 - 3.55 to 4.10

So, I have a jeep with 33's. I have an ARB front locker to match my 3.55 Gear ratio. I want to move to 4.10 to bring the final ratio back closer to stock. The ARB locker has a different part number for that gear set, do I need to buy a new locker? What could possible be the difference in the two?

I don't want to spend another $1000!

Maybe there is another axle that uses the same locker for a 4.10?

That's the carrier break, they are different sizes so the gears don't have to be so thick. You may be able to get thick cut gears but I'm not sure they make them for the D30.

You'll be much happier with 4.56 gears.

Guess they do make them but those are standard rotation. What if he needs reverse cut gears?

FYI, just because it's on the front doesn't mean you need reverse cut. Is you axle a HP D30 or LP D30. If you have the LP, you need the Standard, Not the reverse cut....

I can't look right at the moment, but it is the Stock Axel on a 94 XJ, so it should be a High Pinion. Granted I could find a LP axel from the Pull N' Pay for way less than a new locker if they don't make what I need.

Thanks for all the info guys!

I can get you set up with a new Yukon air locker for 625$ shipped. Then sell your ARB for 4-500$.

They do not make a rev cut thick gear set.

And swapping out a HPD30 for a LP just to save a low ratio ARB is not very logical at all! Low pinion is weaker, lower pinion, and more work then you need to do.
