I have a '96 w/ a D30 & 8.25 w/ 3.07 gears (5-speed). If I upgrade to 3.55s will I need to replace the carriers or just ring & pinion?

the carriers will be the same if you go up to 3.55.. The d30 split is at 3.73 and the 8.25 doesn't have a split as far as I remember... I have a set of used 355's for the HP30 and 8.25 if your interested...

I'm interested. Not sure if mine is an HP30 or not. How much do you want and where are you located? Also, what year XJ are the 8.25 gears from? email me at [email protected]
Thanks!!

What tires are you running or thinking about.That seems like a lot of work for so little difference!

Just as a point of interest, I think the 8.25 does have a split but it's someplace in the 2's range or something like that, so it doesn't affect us at all.Clean-RC said:

I'm running 235s. Won't go over 31s. I basically just want a little more torque when towing a camper. I really don't want to go to 4.10s because I'm on the highway much more than the trail :-(

If you're going to go to 31's do 4.11's. If you will have 235's still do 4.11's. That's what I used to run both with 235's and 4.11's and the jeep worked great: both for speed and fuel efficiency.smccollamjr said:
