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.

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.
