Hey Everyone. So my question isn't about what gears to go with.. its more a question about the front axle. I have a HP Dana 30 with stock 3.55 gears in it right now. I am looking at going to 4.56 gears but when looking around I see an option for a Dana 30 with "reverse rotation" That is my question what does the Reverse rotation mean? Thank you for any information in advance. Ricky

Specs are 96 Cherokee Sport, 4.0, 168,xxx HP Dana 30, Chrysler 8.25, AX-15 tranny, 231 transfer case w/sye

 

The High-Pinion axle requires reverse rotation ring&pinion.
Low-Pinion requires standard rotation.

 

Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate the info.

 

Reverse rotation is actually a mistake most make, it's actually reverse cut. Both high and low pinion rotate the same direction. It's a common mistake, kind of like all limited slips are called possies but technically wrong.
