i bought an 8.8 rear came with woodys drive shaft and ill be running 37s. front axle is a 30 so here is my question. suld i do 4.88 gears front and back or will 4.11 gears work well with 37s?
i never went down this road so ill need help locating this ****

 

37's...4:88's

 

37's and a d30 are not going to last long btw....

but 4.88's is correct.

 

my dads old time wheeler said hes been running dad 30 for a long time on his 40 inch tires and havent broke for 13 years. wen i saw him he did say rite gearing will help out. and this is why im asking as far as gearing goes will 4.88 work. i figured they were the rite ones. and if it breaks then lesson learned. but ima tryi this out first, also im broke as **** now. cuz i bought a 10 inch long arm kit and axle and tires. no deep pockets any more

 

why 10" lift??

you can fit 37's on 6.5" with trimming.

 

because its a rustys kit im buying used for good good priced bucks with new bilsien shocks so i have reasons, and were i come from go big or git out! we roll high loud. my jeeps the runt in our group and i need to move up. not to mention i like big toys.

 

but thanks for your info. i just orderd yukon 4.88 gears for my 8.8 and same for my dana 30 thanks again

 

i like to be safe.... and smart .....

 

with the 4.88's watch out, the pinion is crazy small it will strip/ break with a good shock load that is what I would be worried about with 37's because the shock load will be huge

here is a 3.55 compared to a 4.56 and your going one lower





here is a 3.55 compared to a 4.88

 

wow that much difference. lol

 

so wgat your sayign is ?

 

man a d30 on 37s?

chromo shafts... full case locker... truss... it should last a few runs anyways

on a lighter note this thread has convinced me to go with 4.56 gears if I ever bother to upgrade

 

SDamm strait! ^^^
