Axle uh oh

[Craig0ry]

One more question. I have a 98 Jeep TJ sahara, with a dana 35 rear end. what my gear ratio?

[joshua99ta]

why not go almost bullet proof and buy a rockwell axle out of an old military truck for 600 bucks? and they even come with a 6.72:1 gear ratio!

Craigory, Look on your drear diff there should be a tag that says what your ratio is.

and Joshua99ta, Do you even know how much work its going to take to use rockwells especially if you wanna do your rear steer and all that? Its kinda one of those things that if your posting it all around asking about it, you probably shouldnt do it. and how are 6.72 gears good for anyone with a DD and small tires?

For most of us, D44s and 8.8s sufice just fine.

gesh i was just trying to make a funny. it wasnt like I was serious about that

on the part about me doing it to mine...its a possibility b/c I've never seen it on a cj. I have seen it on some competition only type crawlers... but thats all.... i just think its cool and not gunna be that hard... at least when compared to swapping to something like a 14bolt or dana 60's or something of that sort

[swbooking]

HAHAH its equally as hard if not harder.... You obviously have no idea on the amount of work a swap like that is going to be... and im not saying it cant be done, but theres a reason why you only see rockwells and the sort on competition buggies, there kinda isnt a point to put them on a full bodied rig. But to each his own... Have fun and post pics.

And sorry to take this thread off original topic...
