I have wanting to upgrade my axles and gearing since I picked up my 81 Scrambler last summer. Right now it has 2.76 gearing on narrow track axles with 2" spacers (AMC20/D30). The Jeep sits on 33" on a 4" lift but I also order RE 4.5" and plan to keep it spring under. I am thinking I will go 4.56 gearing and no idea on the differentials yet...
I ordered a 74 Wagoneer front which should come in next week and I am talking with someone on Scout II rear axle. I have been going back and forth on what to do on the rear. I have AMC 304 motor so would like to beef up the rear. If the AMC20 was a wide track, I would consider keeping it.
Is the Scout II axle a good way to go? I just wanted to get some thoughts before I purchase it. I looked at the Rodeo/passport option, but I really want to keep 5 on 5.5. The c-clip on the explorer also concerned me...
I appreciate thoughts from people that have done these swaps.
Thanks,
Hoss
