Regearing to 4.56 on 4.5' with 33's
Hey guys looking to re gear my 8.25 to 4.56
I have a 4.5 on 33's so I figure that needs to change. Any suggestions on which to get and/or where to get, if someone through the forum may know someone. . .? Also could I get away with just the back axle for now? Obviously not using 4wd. . . Thanks all! |
Also would a locker eliminate the need to re-gear?
I plan to add an auto locker eventually. . . Or maybe sooner if the case is such. |
I'm assuming you have an aw4 (I'm on the app, no sigs/info) and with your 33s you're not happy with the drivability on stock 3.55 gears. 4.56s will be a good option if you plan to stay on 33s. A locker alone will not help with gearing if that's what your asking. You may want to consider locking at the same time as regearing to save install cost/time. I don't know what you do with your xj but I would wait to regear both axles because I don't see the of having a (lifted) jeep that can't be put in 4x4.
As to where to buy look in the vendor section. I was going to get my gears from serious Offroad but superior was being dumb so I ended up getting Yukon go the rear and USA standard from the front from seven springs customs. Rumor is the cheap eBay gears are low quality and noisey. |
Its a DD but I'm out here in CO and want it to be fairy capable. I may just wait for both but really feel weak with the 3.55 and feel its hard on the tranny

I'm putting together a 4.5" on 33's and 4.56's right now. maybe it'll give you some ideas I've decided to do it all at once. lockers and gears. that way I only ever need to open the diff once. less hassle in the future but it costs more now |

Serious Offroad, RWKHausSupply and JeepHut are vendors here that sell em. I'm sure there are others but thats what i can think of off the top of my head. Search google, search here, figure out what would suit your needs best
|
yeah RWKhaus had the best prices on carrier and install kit and shipped fast. then I think randys RP had the D30 ring gear for $180. really good prices
|
Do I need a new carrier?
I'm looking at RWK and would his package give me everything I will need? Thanks guys |
dana 30 carrier
http://www.rwkhaussupply.com/magento...73-and-up.html master install kit http://www.rwkhaussupply.com/magento...-c-sleeve.html 4.56 RP for dana 30 reverse http://www.ringpinion.com/b2c/Produc...rce=DiffWizard those are the best prices. email robert@rwkhaussupply.com and see if he'll give you the free shipping code for the carrier and install kit :ninja: |
well here is an idea:
i will be in denver on july 4th and I will have a 8.25 that has 4.56 gears already installed in it and ready to bolt under yours ready to sell!! Id like to get $300 for it. its currently under my 96xj, however im upgrading to a dana 44 right before i leave on my trip to denver............ hit me up, just an idea! |
The front is dana 30 and back 8.25 are all those parts correct?
|
Hmmm that could be a possibility right now I'm leaning toward what Robert has because he will include a locker thanks though
