AXLE SWAP OPTIONS

[BlackYJ]

I do have another questions though, this time regarding brakes.  If I go to 33s i've heard the stock brakes are sufficient.  Whats the consensus on this?  I would like to stay with a 15" rim so I don't lose to much clearance.  What options do I have in this case for improving my stopping power with the bigger tires?
Thanks again!

I don't think you will regret your decision.  As for the brakes, I drove mine with 31s and 33s for several years and even pulled a 16' boat with mine.  The brakes are decent but the main thing is you need to keep an eye on your drums because mud will eat the shoes very quickly and they loose their adjustment, so the fronts will be doing ALL the work.  Now you could look at a performance pad like EBCs as an alternative.

I run slotted rotors and HAWK pads. Definetly helps!

Jrama, you are the man!

Used the calculator for my set up in the YJ....... gives me  90 kph at 1800 rpm

Saved me hours and hours of work.

Was using my gps for speed and my factory tach for rpm and getting 90 kph at 2800 rpm..... (tach is a way out)

Was going to drop in 3.55 axles, now just have to chase down other reasons for low gas mileage.

Again, thanks for the post!

Wait till I get a few months work in the patch....

I have an $1800 yj, $1600 tires $800 TJ trans and tcase, $300 sye kit, so $4500 axles would not be too far out of line.
