auto diff ratios for 35's

[Mitch_TJ]

how do they go off road? are they really capable or just average capable? i really want to do the ratios but just dont have the cash. might just have to hold out with the 32's

I actually own a 3 speed auto.....you know, the one with a 1:1 top gear, unlike EVERY other TJ & XJ which have overdrive top gears.

Mine has 285/70R17 tyres, which are a "big" 33. At 100kph, I am doing 2700 rpm in top gear. With 35s I suspect you will be doing about 2500rpm.

Have the manual & 4 speed auto drivers looked at their tachos at 100kph?

If you plan a lot of highway kms, I think 4.11:1s may be a good choice. If you don't do many h/way ks then 4.56:1 may be a good choice, but it wouldn't work for me.

well just got a quote on getting the ratios done. $2500 for bearings and labour to fit gears and carriers. (gears and carriers not quoted in that price) or $5000 with front and rear ARB's and me supplying the diff gears. what do ya think of those prices?

Thats a hell of alot. You should be able to get away with front / rear air lockers and supply of diff gears all installed for $5k. Do you your shopping.

i've only rang one place and they are the only place in rockhampton that have done it to jeeps before and they install everything incl, lockers, compresor, all wiring, air lines and switches. ARB reffered them to me.
