Id like to run up to 35s but I have a chrysler 8.25 5 speed with 3.07 ratio, is
http://www.ringpinion.com/b2c/Produc...andard_Gearall that I would need?

 

If you have to ask then its over your head. All i can say is read, read and read some more.

 

That's a bit low if you're running a manual and it's also just the ring and pinion, you'll also need bearings and shims which can be bought in a full kit. You'll also need to regear the front to match and like stated if you don't know how to set up gears pay someone cause it's not a job for your average mechanic. It requires some specialty tools and tolerances in .001".

 

haha thats probably true, I kinda understand a little bit about the basics but what other ratios can I run on a 3.07 carrier?

 

how big of tires would you reckon I could run, Let it be known I am a pretty slow driver

 

Oh your asking for what gear ratio, my bad. I rock ax15, 33's and 3.55's from an auto. Its not bad, kinda doggy but get 16-19mpg and dd it so i see no point in being fast; kinda wish i had lower gears for crawling. Buddy has Ax15, 35's and 4.10's from a 4cyl and its pretty close to stock, not as doggy as mine.

 

3.07 with a 5 speed. i've run 31's before and would never use 5th unless in low range. wouldnt go bigger than that

 

All stick Cherokees are 3.07 right?

 

not sure, i know mine was.

 

all 6 cly manual's yes, they are 3.07. 4cly has 4.10's

 

I think I would just be better of goin to the jy and swapping axles, besides the 4 cylinder whats the lowest gearing for a straight 6 auto

 

The 8.25 doesn't have a carrier break but the lowest you can go is 4.88s.

 

on a scale of 1-10 how hard is regearing on my own?

 

depends on your skills

 

If you've never done it about a 12. I've done quite a few and it usually takes me about 3 hours per axle. And I have the right tools and set up bearings.
