Default Sorry, another gear thread

I'm about to put a full traction 4" lift on my Jeep and I'm gonna run 35's. I've been looking at which gears to run, maybe I haven't looked hard enogh, but i'm just not finding my answers. I have a front d30 and a rear d44. I'd like to get 4.56 gears for both, but I've been reading that my d30 wont take a 4.56.

Thoughts.

I'm unsure of the dana 30 stuff, but next guy will ask if its an automatic or manual trans.

haha your right goody, what gears are you running now? if its the 4.10s i dont think you will see that much of a difference. and i havent seen 4.56 gears in a jk. there are 4.88's out there. and if its an auto why not go to 5.13

The tranny is a 6 speed, and i meant 4.88 gears, I currently have 3.21 up front. I guess what I want to know is wether or not the front(d30) will take the 4.88

I have the 4.88 Yukons and love them. I think they are just right for the 6 speed two door. If you have the Unlimited, you might even consider 5.13s.

DITTO.....that 800lbs(or so) makes a pretty big difference.
