Prices to regear to lower gears
I am slowly working an getting my Jeep back on the road and one thing leads
to another.. Like upgrade ideas, improvements, ect.. I was wondering what the average price is to regear to lower gear ratio... I have 4.10 in it now and would like to go with 4.56 or 4.88 so I can run 33 or 35 tires and still be able to use 5th gear.. I am going to call around today at some of the local 4x4 shops and see what they charge.. But I would like to get an idea of price so I can tell if I am being ripped off or not... Thanks as always.. This group has been great for info and support.. Ben 95 YJ 2.5L |

My last regearing was $1087 but that, at least here in the San Diego
area, was a better than usual deal. Skip over the 4.56 and go right to 4.88. There's not enough difference between your current 4.10 and 4.56 to warrant spending that much money. Besides, 4.88 is perfect for 33" tires with your four-banger. I don't think I'd try 35" tires though.

I recently paid $350 at a local shop to have gears installed in my TJ. I
bought the gears and install kits myself from the likes of Randy's R&P and Quadratec. Check prices online for comparison to your local shop... they may mark them up also. You should go all the way to 4.88 gears (I think that's the limit in the Dana 35) with your 4 cylinder. I have a friend with a 4 cyl YJ, 33's, and 4.56 gears that is not at all happy with his power and 5th gear use. -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID, HEI 4.56 Gears, Lock-Right F&R 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, D30 Front.

Yep that's high... as I recall, I have about $900 in mine which included a
Detroit TruTac in the rear. JimG "Ben" wrote in message ... > Well.. I just got a quote from a local 4x4 shop..

That's a pile of money just to have an overdrive gear...
I get the same mileage as I used to before the big tires by just not using 5th.... Suits me fine, one less shift to mess with.

Somwehere around $1200 for both axles is the going price around here.
Gears, seals, and labor. Bearings are extra, not a bad idea if your axle has high mileage. Don't bother with the 4.56:1, one step up is just not economic.

Yeah Mike,
I agree with you... I am running 4.10s now and to regear is too expensive.. Atleast until my rich uncle dies.. LOL.. Wait!! I don't have any rich uncles... For that kind of money I can use it for a winch, new bumpers, or whatever else I can think of...
