Unless I missed something in my searches, I was looking for a discussion on these two gearings for a 97XJ auto with d30/8.25 axles. But here's my scenario, I don't drive the Jeep as much offroad as I want to, I'd say about 20% of the time. The rest is spent on the highway, etc. So I am looking for the best gearing ratio for what I need. Right now I am running 31's TrXus Mud Radials (which are a little bigger than 31's by the way) with the stock 3.55 gearing.
I have heard that 4.56 is too low for what I would be using and I have heard that 4.56 is perfect. And just recently someone told me that the 4.10 gearing would be just right, etc.
For locking purposes, I plan on putting in a limited slip in the rear and front or a powertrax in the rear and no-slip in the front. Like I said, I only use this about 20% of the time offroad but when I do go offroad I would like some better traction, etc which is why the limited slip was suggested to me by several people.
So at this point, just looking for some comments, ideas, feedback and possibly the best place to get the gears, limited slips/powertrax/no-slips.
Thanks,
Chris
