What size gears is everyone running with 35s

And what was everyone’s cost regearing per axle

 

4.56 was about $1800 total for both diffs.

 

4.88 in my Jeep

 

Holy shit

 

Proper gearing choice is going depend on auto or manual and the cost is dependent on if you are going to pay some one or do the work yourself.

 

Going to have someone instal and I am auto v6!

 

I paid $1100 for mine and that included the air locker install as well.

 

If you think you might ever get lockers, get them now!

 

4.56/ arb lockers front and back. paid 4k for both front/rear locker plus 4.56 gears. The charged me about 1k for the installation. Had 3k in parts.

 

Was that per axle and what size gears?

 

You can get away with 4.56 on 35's with the v6. I would personally go 4.88 to let the diffs work harder than the transmission. The tradeoff in trans durability being less fuel efficiency.

For cost, I was at $2916 total in parts and labor for ARB's front/rear, R&P, and install. So figure under $1500 per axle.

 

4.88 Nitro gears and $1100 was the labor cost for both front and rear. It took a day and a half but it was done right.

Nitro Gears Master Install kit - $1325
ARB Front Air Locker - $920
Labor cost for both front and rear axles - $1100

If you plan on towing or carrying adding additional weight in the future like armor, winch, roof rack, sliders. Then I would recommend 4.88 gears for Auto. If not then I would go 4.56 and 4.30 would put you closer to stock.

 

4.56
$800 rear only, the whole kit.

 

I'm on 4.56 on 33s. V6 Auto. Did lockers front and back too. Think I was $5-6k all done.

Really want 35s though when I can afford it.

 

Similar here...

OP - usual guide for 35’s is 4.88 for auto trans & 4.56 for manual. That being said 4.30 is available now & knowing what I know now I’d have gone with that if I could have. (Manual trans here)

Just my $.02

 

Who is providing 4:30s? I remember reading on here that they are extremely expensive in comparison to the more common sizes.

 

Nitro. I don't think the price is any different...check ECGS.

 

Dunno.

I read it on the internet so it must be true.

 

4.56s and 35s

I'm juggling 4:10s and 4:30s. 06 6spd mk3 stage 1 s/c, 34s. Looks like ecgs has 430s. Yukon not nitro. Nice option!
