Gearing question?
Hi, I have 99 xj with a 5.5 IRO lift and I plan on running 33's. This is my DD and I know I should regear. I have a d30 and c8.25. I heard 4.56 but I'm not sure.
Ps I drive alot!!

I went with USA standards & people say they are made by Yukon just not bench spun of xxx amount of miles... that's what makes them "loud", but I can't here them over the tires! Lol no complaints, just remember the d30 will need the 3.73 carrier to install 4.10-4.56 gears

I also have the US standard gear set in my rear axle... no problems from mine. but I have a poly trans mount for compete for noises with.
In my opinion and others will disagree... But if you are going to spend the money to re-gear why make as little of a change as you can to get buy, its not cheaper, or less work... just less gearing lol. I would go 4.56's. I have 4.56's and 33's. feels great. 4.10's just don't seam worth all the work to me...

Randys ring & pinion. Your gonna need the master rebuild kits for both axles, but if you've never installed gears before your gonna want to have a shop install them!
