35's on my jeep

[grundlepunch]

i know people with 5:13's, but they have 1tons, v8's, np205's (high gears) and 38"+ tires

[Even]

HP d30s go to 4.88s
LP d30s go to 5.13s I believe

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think LP30's may even go to 5.89

are 5.13's that bad?

I don't think the gearing is the issue here. With a LP30, 5.13 gears, and 35" tires, the pinion gear becomes a weak point.

[wannabejeep]

wait did he have 37s on 4.10s?

yes. then his motor blew up.

Exactly.

this is what you need

Theres other ways to acheive gearing besides ring and pinions.

precisely, properly gearing a vehicle with tires larger than 37's minimizes any weak point in the drivetrain.

i know someone that runs 4.88's in a pair of dana 60's with 39's and a stock jeep 4.0. but most of their gearing comes from the atlas tcase, which takes some of the load off of the ring and pinion themselves and actually helps to make the axles stronger with that setup than if there were like 5.38s er something in those diffs.

building a tcase with 4:1 is the next step in my build, thats why i geared to 4.56 for the 35's.

Would that person happen to be polock wycislo?

the deeper the gears in the axles, the less stress on the rest of the driveline.

i have seen many more broken driveshafts and u joints with stock gears than people who wheel harder and run deep gears.

just ask mike

Yes but i think the point trying to be made is yes you WILL need to go deeper into the gears in the diff but you will not need to go stupidly deep. There is other places to gear it up. transmission and transfer cases being them. Also you can not beat the crawl rate of a reduction box. I wish i had a toyota so i can get the dual 4.7 lows. Also for speed you can not beat a good reduction in the transfer case

[Ktmracer419]

depends on what we are calling stupidly deep

5.13's are not that deep for 35's

i once was going to dabble with this 4:1 and doubler stuff, then realized that there have been zero times i truly wished i had lower gears. my mind might change if i were to wheel a similar jeep to mine with them, but until then i have other prioroties.

[Magilla]

im talking like the typical yota guys that go 5.83s and 6.13s on 35s

[kfeal]

anything bigger than 4.10's in a dana35 and you are asking for failure. the gears and oil get way to hot in such a small housing. do a 44 front 8.8 rear with 5.13's

[Ktmracer419]

dana35 fail

fixed

Twin sticks > dual cases (my friend with 4.7:1 yota said so)

Take mine for a ride, the good part is its geared like a tractor, the bad part is its geared like a tractor, although vehicle wise its a lot different from yours. I used to wheel an auto, I think if you are wheeling for thrills, nothing satisfies like a stick shift with gear.
