Because the D30 is limited to a 4.56 and no lower?  ???

It used to be that the 8.25" was the issue. The deepest that you could go was 4.56s.... now it's 4.88s!!!! It wasn't too long ago, neither.
I am running 4.56s because at the time it was the deepest I could get.. less than a year later, my neighbor buys 4.88s..... MF'r!!!!! That pinion gear is soooooooooooooooooooooo tiny for the 4.88s.
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.
Here's your cup of STFU... ENJOY!

cool thanks. :) Seems like such a waste to replace the pinion seal since I'll be swapping it out soon, but if it's gonna be a month or two, I'd rather have it fixed and not have to worry about it.

Thanks again for all the info and patience guys as I learn and build my rig.
