With a new carrier possible.

But for anyone running that size gears, usually I have seen them with a completely different set of axles under there.


Unless you're talking bout my `54 CJ3B with its 5.38 gearing.  ;D
`48 CJ2A, `54 CJ3B, `97 TJ, and 03 WJ...batting close to .500 when it comes to jeep models owned vs. jeep models created.....

Was thinking more of a temp solution....

So your saying with a Detroit it would work? Hahah d30 locked on 37s. Hell I'd try it.

i think ull be fine .. if the gears actually fit .. the dana 30 is a dana 44 with a smaller weaker  carrier .so replace the weak carrier and ull be golden

Was either an error or they weren't in production long.  Randy's ring and pinion listed them a few years back, not long after I built my diffs.  Now they don't list them and few people remember them being listed.  My guess is error as the jk was being or was newly introduced and it has 5.13 option.
