Guys need your advice. I have a 2000 XJ 5.5RE 33 MTR's which I am trying to sell, detroits front and rear, D30, 8.25 yukon shafts, tera 2low..... I want to go up to 35's but I also want 4:1 so I am thinking which should I do the 33 MTRS are brand new just got them a few weeks ago. I should of went 35's to begin with but I didnt, So I am wondering If I should go for the 35's or is the 4:1 a better upgrade....

do you need the 4:1 for the type of wheeling you do?

If I broke through the grammar barrier correctly, I'd say he's trying to sell the 33's, not the XJ.
That said, I'd think the 4:1 would be a better idea.

tera 2 low is RWD low range now how exactly it works youll need some one else. but any way i would say 4:1 because 35s will eventualy go on any way and for the time being the deeper crawl ratio may make up for the tire hight. just my opinion

go with the 4lo, the 35's can wait i go up to paragon i have 33's and i installed the 241or which has the 4:1 in it and it made a huge diff. in rock crawling. i did all black trails mostly 2's. you will get more for your money w/the 4lo. i have 4.56's and my gear ratio is like 70:1 and it works great on rocks. with that crawl ratio my xj will pretty much go till it flops over(i know from experience).
so go 4lo
so go 4lo

basically its a new shift collar for inside the tcase that adds 2 wheel drive low range, so your shift pattern becomes something like 2hi, 4hi, neutral, 4lo, 2lo

I'd go 4:1
when aired down, you're talking about maybe .5" extra clearance at the diff. not worth as much as crawl ratio is.

How much would a shop or someone charge to install a 4:1? Or is it straight foward enough to do it yourself?

a 4:1 wont make much of a difference if you dont have tires

It's not a bad install at all if you've had the t-case split before. I rebuilt my t-case completely, and I was amazed at how few parts were really in there.hjeepxj said:

The 4:1 is a pretty simple install, if you can pull the T-case, you could do it yourself. It replaces the whole front case assy, with a new one. Tera gives you a good schematic, & pretty good instructions. Only special tool, would be a torque wrench.
