I'm still kind of new to the Jeep thing, so don't laugh at my question. I have a 97 XJ with a stock LSD with 3.55's and 245/75R16 tires. I am wondering if I upgrade to 4.11's and the corresponding carriers, will my LImited Slip still work, or does that need to be replaced also?

In likely hood the clutches are worn out so you may as well just buy a lunch box locker

What rear axle do you have?
Are you sure you have an LSD?

The clutch discs are easy to replace, especially if you are removing the carrier to regear anyway.

A new carrier is needed for the front axle, the carrier break is 3.73 and up.

A new carrier is not needed with either the Dana 35 or the Chrysler 8.25".

It is a 8.25 and I am sure it is a LSD and it works great. I guess it was standard on the Up Country package.

you do have a LSD, and yes it will still work with the new gears. if the clutches are in good condition you wont even have to touch the LS parts.

but, IMO. 3.55 to 4.11 is not much of a jump. i woulld hold off on regearing until you make a jump to 33" or taller

33" or taller is not going to happen, might some day go up to 265/75R16. Runs fine now, will probably leave it alone for now.

No bad idea.

I agree, but I hate getting into discussions. I will do the lunchbox in the front only. I was thinking of regearing but want to be able to keep my LSD in the rear.
