I am wanting to get a stronger axle but i dont know what gears i need, i do alot of mudding and rockcrawling but dont drive the jeep on the road its just a toy.
does anyone have any suggestions or how i might go about selection the right gear for my situations?

Depends on tire size, transmission and what axles you have now.

YIKES lets play break some axle shafts how do u craw and mud with stock axles with those monster tires

xjmarc

4.56-4.88 depending on whether you do mostly rocks or mud. I wouldn't waste the money gearing the 35.

Just be easy lol but thats why im trying to find some fast!

Just like I posted in the sticky, get and 8.8 if you can't find a 44 and throw in 4.88 gears.

I personally wouldn't go over 4.56 gears with the 30 up front (no real reason why, just how I feel) but then again, I don't even plan on going above 35's since I have Jeepspeed on the mind.

well im going with a dana 60 up front and a dana 60 or 12 bolt in the rear with 37s

xjmarc

Skip the 12 bolt it's junk and a 1/2 ton axle. I think what you meant was a 14 bolt which is stronger than a 60.

A shaved 14b could be real nice

dylan91xj

Yeah my mistake i meant 14 lol
only thing i am having problems with is finding them

Hoooper

14b axles should be everywhere. They are pretty common from that I understand. Have you been going to the jy yourself or just calling? In my experience, you will find a lot more stuff at the jy than you would expect after calling

xjmarc

14 bolt will be easy the front 60 that has enough tube on the driver side to be usabe will be the fun part. Took me 3 years to find one under 1200 bucks.
