I currently have the stock Dana 30 and AMC 20 axles with 2.7.3 gears. As I've mentioned before I need to do a regear. I'm going to 4.11. That part is settled. However, I need advice on how to get there.
I got quotes from installers and they're around $2K just for the regear. However, I also asked about changing the axle shafts and bearings. Essentially a complete overhaul, except for the brakes. That brings it up to 4K. My Scrambler has 100K on it. My son only occasionally gets it muddy. No wheeling. I'm only on 31" tires. Should I bother with changing/upgrading the axles? I've researched around and I can get complete D44 axle assemblies for 7K INCLUDING brakes. That's a lot of coin, but I assume I would never touch the axles again. My biggest reason is that I'm planing on taking it on a very long trip this summer and I want to make sure it's as reliable as possible.
Thanks!
