Did some searching but did not find much.
I have a 1990 XJ, 4.0 AX-15 so I have 3.0something gears and I want to go 3.73's or 4.10's. Looking to go 35's and this will be a daily driven rig.
My question is this, can I do the gear swap using basic tools? I know both axle shafts have to be pulled as well as the carrier and from what I understand the worst part of the job is the ring gear which I was told I needed an air hammer to do, which I have.
So will my stock carrier for the D30 & D35 support 3.73's or 4.10's? Also would the stock D44 carrier w/3.55's support 3.73's or 4.10's? Assuming yes on the 3.73's.
I was also told to check backlash, don't the install kits correct/fix/eliminate this problem?
Thanks for the help in advance guys.
