Picking up F&R 44's for my XJ next weekend, their ready to bolt under my XJ, but the front has the stock 3.73's and the rear has 5.38's lincoln locked....
Once their under Im gonna be running 35's-37's, currently have 35's on the XJ, obviously the 5.38's are a bit much for a DD w/ AW4...so Im thinking 4.88s but Im curious on your opinions
Obviously I'm changing one thing or another up...question is do I
A. Spend tons of money regearing both axles to 4.88, plus locking them....and pry running over brakes and all other parts...
or
B. throw 5.38's in the front and call It a day? :explosion
my concern is the welded gears on a DD and 5.38's on 35x12.50's...Chim in...
If I do things A way I'll take my time and build them right with 4.88's pry lock the front and keep the rear open for a while, thats my current set-up on stock axles and I like It cause you cant feel a thing in 2WD, Option A will have much downtime though, pry close to 6 months gathering all the money I'll spend on gears and labor charges...What do you think fella's?
