regearing question...
i found out to regear the 3.21 to 4.10 would cost about $431.50 for the ring/pin kit (parts only) and i guess w/ the new dana 44 doesn't require a case or something like that.
does anyone know if this is true? has anyone done this yet.
thank you

If you have a Dana 44, you should not need a new carrier and labor may cost around $500 per axle.

I'm sorry, you did say 4.10 gears and that should be available as it is a factory ratio. I should clarify that you won't be able to find a ring & pinion from an aftermarket manufacturer like AlloyUSA, Precision Gear or Superior Axle at this time.

i'd like to regear it to 4.10 but everything seems complicated... and expensive. i'd like to put 33 tires but want to make sure the stock 3.21 will be ok??? i think i got the wrong jeep and should have settled for the B package with the seats that don't have height adjustment :confused:
please, please any tips...

I have 33"s with the 3.21 gears, it's fine since my chip flash. I too would love lower gears, but I am not paying the factory prices for factory gears, I want to put at least 4.56's or 4.88's but want to wait till the aftermarket stronger stuff is out. You will be fine the stock gears and 33"s.
can anyone here recommend what tires i should get?
thank you again for your help.

it is only for JK's built before Nov. 10th I think.
as far as the 33's with our gears, I wheel mine a lot, dirt, mud, rocks, mountains, and it's been awesome all around. I drive on the interstate to work, again still awesome. around town, still awesome, I have no complaints about the gears, me wanting lower gears is more a want then a need. and that want is only for rock crawling really. as far as tires, that depends on what you really want out of them, for me, I need/want a rugged Mud terrain, but some people may be ok with just an A/Ts. So again tires is up to your needs/wants. I love my tires, Maxxis Buckshot Mudders, they are fairly cheep, very durable (10 ply sidewalls) and do great on rocks and mud. but Maxxis makes some other tires that I've heard good things about too, like the Bighorns, which look more like the Wrangler MTR's with cool tread coming down on the side walls. and they are lots cheeper then Wrangler MTR's, but my girlfriend has the Wrangler MTR's on her 06 Rubicon, and she loves them, and they have been an awesome tire, but again you pay more for them, but they have some really killer features, like some kind of gel in the sidewall that helps seal up side punctures. for me, i seem to wear my tires more then a normal driver, so price is a huge factor with me, but performance is another. I've been wheeling with lots of people and you can see a huge difference in traction between A/T's and Mud Terrains... so far, I'd say Mud is always better (but I may get flamed for that, but that is just my opinion).
sorry for rambling, but I hope that helped some.
