Axle ratio with 35s

[FiEND]

gears + setup kit is usually around $300 per diff ($600)

labour would prob be $300 or $400 per diff.  more or less depending on if and type of locker intalled etc.  ie.  ARB may run $500 for first diff and $400 for second..  detroits or spools probably cheaper.

that's about what I would expect to pay someone.  some may be more, some less.

Ive had 3.55 with my 35's for a number of years with my 4.2 and did ok, 4.56 is whats in her now and is better for climbing and 5th gear is used again

with a good choose or tools and some common sense and the internet  a person can do anything

but if you dont feel adventurous then you will be spending probably 400- 500 per diff to have gears installed plus the cost of gears and the install kit

well some day I might feel adventurous but for now my jeep is still under warranty so if I did do anything to it in the short term it will likely be done by licensed mechanics.  Though I don't know how much of a difference that makes when it comes to warranties.

I found this graph a great deal of help.

thats an awesome ratio chart .. one problem   with it is   it doesnt take in consideration for the engine .. 4 banger or 4.0 L    or the few people that are running hemi's

but besdies that its a good chart

Kermit, if you want, I can send you an Excel spreadsheet that you can plug in various trans - T-case, axle ratios and tire sizes and then see the final gear ratios of each. It also shows the vehicle speed @ various engine RPM's and also RPM's @ 110kph for the top three gears.  I'd post it on here, but unfortunately, I'm not tech savvy that way.  I'm pretty sure I could attach it to a PM though.

Let me know - I've found it useful for deciding on future parts purchases.

[Kermit]

Yes please.. PM sent

Here is the spreadsheet.
