gear change D30&D35 ???
« on: April 23, 2009, 04:36:03 PM »
I know gear ratio below 3.55 in the D35 requires a new case when you go above 3.55.... so what about the dana 30? right now i want to go to at least a 4.88 from my crappy current 3.05 (thanks again Chrysler), unless i decide to swap axles.

i believe the carrier has to be changed out with gears over 3.73 in the D30. I know I had to get a new carrier for my 4.56 gears, I just can't remember where the stock carrier limit is.
Can anybody else confirm?
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.

I'm pretty sure the split in the D30 is between 3.55 and 3.73.
This is not 'Nam, this is wheeling.  There are rules.

I thought it was 3.73 to 4.10, except in the case of the Rubi's.

Regardless.. if Hansel is going to at least 4.88s, he needs a new one.

I believe 4.88 is the lowest gear you can go on a D30. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.....

i think their is a company out there that make a 5.13 for the d30 but it might be exclusive to the reverse spiral d30
