I have a JKU Sahara with 3.21 gears and I'm getting 35's in another week. I won't be able to spend $1500 for a new set of 4.56 gears till next year but would it be worth it to pick up a set of slightly used 3.73 gears to put in until I can get the bigger ones? I have a buddy who works at american axle who has all the tools and know how to install them for me so I could do it for about $200. Just looking for your thoughts.

 

Gears are cheap, you will still need to get install kits. The install takes 5-8 hours as far as I know, your buddy may only do it once, do it with 4.56's

 

for $200 it would be no brainer even if you were not going 35"

 

Would you be interested in my 3.73? Taking them out this week with 27000 miles on them

 

I would wait till you get the correct ratio gears. You are paying for the the install and the kits either way so why waste that money doing it twice.

 

Save the cash and do it once
