Here is another newbie question-

I have no idea what axles I am running on my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport but I want to upgrade my gears to 4.10....but I need this info. Can anybody help me out in finding this out? Is this common knowledge that I don't know about?

Vehicle Spec
3" Rusty's Lift
31" Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's on Rubicon wheels
DynoMax SuperTurbo Exhaust
...thats it for now....

Probably a 8.25 rear and a dana 30 front. You should consider going at least 4.56. Look here. you will find alot of answers.

hi semi-local guy,,do you own one of those asbestos fire fighting suits?

D30 LP 29spl 8.25

joey99jb · Feb 21, 2006

Thanks guys

Do you have any suggestions with where I can get the best deal for the 4.10s?

I have been searching through these forums alot and everyone pretty much says that 4.10s will be good for 31's.

Thanks

do you have abs?

joey99jb · Feb 21, 2006

No I do not have ABS (the light doenst come on when I start the car) ...Does that make a difference?

dynamite44 · Feb 21, 2006

if you have ABS, you're guaranteed to have a dana 35 rear axle.
if there is a lip on the bottom of the rear axle, a little flat lip below the diff cover, that's a chryser 8.25 axle.
if the bottom of the rear diff is round, that's a dana 35.

chrysler 8.25 1996 and up is 29 spline, better than a dana 35 or earlier iterations of the 8.25.

your front axle is a low pinion dana 30. low pinion was used in 2000 and 2001. its different than the high pinion D30. when buying gears, make sure you tell them that you've got a low pinion dana 30 front axle.

456 is the highest gear ratio you can put into a D30.

Does it matter that I have an AX-15 with regards to the 4.10 gearing?

rstarch345 · Feb 21, 2006

My 2K XJ has 4.10's and 31" tires for highway and 32" for wheelin. Does everything I want both ways including towing.

Your AX-15 won't be a problem.

What is the difference between 4.10 and 4.11? Based on what I have read I have a low pinion Dana 30 in the front and a Dana 35 in the rear??? I was wondering if that was right?

Dana 30 4.10 ring pinion low -- FRONT (EbayID# - 8045391800)
DANA 35 4.11 RING & PINION -- REAR (EbayID# - 8045251701)

Is this correct or am I doing something completely wrong?

Thanks

you said you dont have abs, so you should have an 8.25. find a picture and compare.

the difference is .01 and it wont make a difference

4:56 is the highest you can go with a 8.25, not d30

There is a negligible difference betwen 4.10 and 4.11 - you'll find that most front/rear combos have minor differences like that because of the ring/pinion tooth counts. It won't effect your driving.

Not true but to go to anything lower than 3.55 you have to change the carrier.

Anyone know what reverse-cut means? Do I need to consider this when purchasing the gears?
Also, can I get the gears off a YJ? Thanks

reverse cut gears are for high pinion axles also known as HP D30’s just look at the axle, if the pinion comes out above the axle it is HP and you will need reverse cut gears, like wise if it is below the center point of the axle is low pinion and you will need standard gears

Your 2000 should have the NV3500, not the AX-15.

joey99jb · Apr 19, 2006

Found these gears on EBAY. I was lookin on buying them but want some opinions before. I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport with a D30 fron and Chrysler 8.25 rear. These gears are 4.10 and coming out of a 1996 Jeep Cherokee. Please check out the ebay description and let me know if this will work. Someone mentioned earlier in this post og low pinion vs. high pinion and I do not know if these 4.10 gears are low pinion? Does this matter?

Let me know!

I assume that a 1996 Jeep Cherokee has high pinion gears...does this mean I cannot use these at all?

Anyone at all have an idea?
