any opinions on the 4.56 gears?

**ratmonkey** · 02-08-2010, 10:26 PM

500$ isn't gonna get you much in the fast department.

Save up till you have it decided what exactly you want to do and don't rush into it half ****ed.

FST1994ZJ · 02-08-2010, 10:29 PM

ok well i know i want to re-gear it and i can get 4.56 gears for the front and back axle. will that get my jeep quicker.

**horatio102** · 02-08-2010, 10:44 PM

Yes, it will be quicker. Check what it's going to do to your highway RPMs though. I'd wager you're going to turn about 500 rpm faster at 70 mph. You may not want to go quite that extreme.

i dont do much driving on the highway. i am getting both front and rear axle for 500$$

FST1994ZJ · 02-08-2010, 10:51 PM

so quicker meaning faster off the line and quicker to reach 60 like a faster 0-60 time.

If I had $500.00 to spend I'd get a Mopar Performance computer. Great bang for the buck mod - takes 15 minutes to install and nets a nice power gain. Nab one soon while they're still available. You'll have about $200.00 leftover to use for something else - maybe a cold air intake if you haven't done that yet.

FST1994ZJ · 02-08-2010, 11:08 PM

how much hp gain can i expect from that

with 4.56s youll have a lot more low end torque. so yes faster from 0-60. thats what im going with. i also have bigger tires, but its slightly higher than the factory equivelant gears for the tire size im running. 4.10s would be closer to factory for my size. the 4.56s will give me more grunt

FST1994ZJ · 02-08-2010, 11:17 PM

ok that is what i think i will go with to get that off the line speed. how is your highway performance?

BLACKzj52 · 02-08-2010, 11:44 PM

i havnt had them installed yet but with 33s, i still will loose some MPG if i hang around 75-80mph. if i hang 65-75 i should be ok. in your case itll suck most likely

FST1994ZJ · 02-08-2010, 11:50 PM

why will it suck?

any highway driving you do will be at high RPM's thus KILLING your mpg's. ESPECIALLY with the 5.2. If it is just your wheeler grab those axles and throw on some 32's or 33's and it will be the perfect ratio.

**ratmonkey** · 02-09-2010, 02:58 AM

4.56's are good for 33's.

Why are you trying to make a jeep running 33's a street racer anyways? Pick one or the other.

500$ will buy most of the parts to regear. Then you'll have to spend another 500-1000$ on labor to have them installed.

Most chevy axles are poor choices for jeeps btw.
