 Found a Yukon 4.88 ring Pinion package on eBay for the Dana 30 and AMC 20 for my CJ7.

Plan on putting ARB lockers in at a later date ....but would like to get the gearing right first!!

So I'm looking for some advise from you guys,

1/  Are Yukon's OK ?

2/  Is 4.88 too low for 35's (but currently running 32's)

3/ Is this a DIY job (or is worth paying someone and advise on who if so)

All advise and help much appreciated!!

Perfect for 35's

1 - yes, used them myself
2 - yes
3 - you need a few special tools (not expensive on the bay) and be methodical, plenty of how tos on the web, you will need a master rebuild kit for each axle plus the RnP, think I paid around £600 delivered from the states for 2 axles of bits.

1. Yukon is a good brand
2. Perfect for 35s
3. What scrw said plus plenty of time, no rushing over a weekend to get vehicle back on road for Monday for example (it SHOULDN'T take a whole weekend but best to allow loads of time, space, tools...)

Thanks bulldog67, scrw and JamesH for you help with this.

 I feel more confident now to get on with it !!!

Once i've finished the bodywork this is next on the list!!!!!

Yukon top brand, got their stronger shafts for dana 35.

I run 4.56 for 34" Swampers and 32" Stt's so you'll be spot on!

Hope that helps, Maf

PS if your doing that, Aussie lockers are only £150 each end, awesome....

I keep looking at a regear myself. Can you let us know how you get on. And good luck :0)

Thanks Maf,

 I was a little dubious about lockers for road use !!!

I have read a few artices this morning about them, and the Aussie lockers seem to have eliminated the problems with turning and noise and at around £150 each end seem to fit better with my budget.

I was a little concerned about a locker in the rear for road use. Does it make it a little tricky for road use?

As I have very limited knowledge about Jeeps, I didn't realise that I could swap the shafts for the Dana 35's. Is it a straight swap ? Or Am I being slow and you mean you have a Dana 35!!!!

Sorry for all the questions

Steve
