Default Re-gear time

Slowly Getting caught back up with my jeep build and lots of new toys coming, including new wheels, I've have 32" for a while and sick of it now im going to 33" it will suck so its time to regear

Thinking ill go 4.56 (i have 04' manual) but whats the cheapest way?

I dont want arb lockers, well cant afford it and its my daily driver so i still need good road manners.

there is no really cheap way... you have to do boths diffs at the same time or your drive train will bind... probably best off doing the seals and everything while your in there... only way to make it cheaper is if you have expeirence building diffs...

Cheapest possible method would be to skimp the overhaul kits and using the most budget kits we have, could do a price of $503 for parts (F&R).
But really you'd want an overhaul kit for the front & Minimum install kit for the rear. so that's going to add $268.

Being an apprentice and finding $4k to do it isn't the easiest thing to do.

Guess ill just put up with it a bit longer.

There are no real cheap ways out of this unless you pickup some regeared and locked axles second hand...

Even if you just regear...if you even goto some form of locker that needs a new carriers( unlike lunchbox lockers) your up for setup costs again
