At the risk of being flamed for not searching (which I've done), here goes...
I've looked around, and I think I know the answer already, but I'd like to hear it for you all.
Current setup:
DD '93, 180,000 miles, 4.0l, AX15 with 3.07 axles and 235's. The 235s are a bit on the generous size, so let's say they're equivalent to 29-30" tyres. My rear axle (8.25) is decidedly grumbly, which brings me to the dilemma.
I've scored a 93 4 banger donor for much cheapness, and in looking around it seems most likely that it'll have 4.11 axles, and whilst I was thinking about a regear, on account of the old rear axle being on its way out, I'm now wondering if I'll have a bloody hot rod if I go to 4.11 on those tyres!
My intention is to do a budget OME boost, given that I've saved myself a packet by getting this spare jeep, but since the tyres have only done 500 miles I'm not about to cough up for a new set just yet.
Will it be OK for a daily driver? Your advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.
