Gents,
Need you help on a few questions. Looking to upgrade my rear and front gearing for Dana 30 and AMC 20. Jeep will be used for both light off road beach, light trails. No rock climbing. Driving 3 days a week and short 4 to 6 hours trips. Have the 258 with T5 w/ overdrive. Going with 33 or 35 max. Want max gearing rather than not enough so going 4.56 gearing. Please your thought and opinion are welcome. So questions are:
1) 1983 Jeep scrambler correct me if I am wrong but WT or NT, Believe I have the WT?
2) Going for one piece front axels what length do I purchase? Front axels are 55.8? and what else do I need to know when regearing with 4:56? Spline?
3)I want a limited slip for both for both Dana 30 and AMC 20. Would like to keep it both lockers the same. Again do not need anything extreme. Most light trails. Trying to stay away from magnetic, electric maybe a lunch box? Mostly street driving. I was thinking a Spartan locker or maybe a Assuie locker. Do I really need a locker in the front Dana 30? By putting a locker upfront is there and issue with drivability or turning radius etc.? Sorry for ALL the questions on this one...lol
Thanks
