i bought this jeep from a guy about 2 years ago and did alot of stuff to it but one thing i didnt do was the axle swap so im just running 32's on it. I wana know if he already had the axles swapped because when i put it in 4x4 the baby crawls i mean slow. So it made me think maybe he has different axle in the back or maybe gear swap. Any one know by looking at my axles if they are d44's i have pics of the front and rear

looks like a dana 30 front and a dana 35 rear to me. can't tell from the outside if a gear swap has been done.

[DylanYazel]

ya i know you cant tell about the gear swap is there a way i can?

[COLOUXJ]

its a chryco 8.25 rear and a dana 30 front.

[DylanYazel]

whats a chryco 8.25 and is it better than the d35? i dont know alot about the gearing or what you can run on a chryco 8.25. Also the 8.25 in the rear isnt stock is it? (sorry for all the questions)

[ReconMill]

8.25 is better, and they are both stock.

[DylanYazel]

thanks millhousenator what size tires can i run on them withough gear swap? i have 32's right now

[ReconMill]

Im personally running 33s on stock gears. Not so bad in town, but really blows on the highway. Id even regear for 31s if i could afford it, but its too damn expensive.

[DylanYazel]

right now i have 32 12.50's on and the highway doesnt seem to effect it much...but i have a performance chip/ k and n air filter/ flowmaster. maybe thats why? idk but how much does it cost to regear to 4.88? i dont know how to do it so how much would it cost for someone else to do it?

[DylanYazel]

what axle am i running in the front?

[beneharris]

its a dana 30 in front

[DylanYazel]
