good to know... gathering parts to do the 4x4 swap myself.

bleepinjeep on youtube has a video about this. shows what and how to do the conversion. I myself am going to go to a single axle shaft

So I'm new to the page and novice to say the least about wheeling.... Anyways, I recently traded a set of tires for a running 1991 MJ. It's 2wd and has the 2.5L engine and auto trans. I believe the dana 35 it has now has 4:10 gears. I've come across a pretty good deal ($100) for a Dana 30 and a Chrysler 8.25 with 29 spline shafts already set up for SOA. Both axles have 3.55 gears in them. I'm installing a 4.5" lift and 33x12.5R15 tires. I'm just wondering how it's going to drive with the 3.55 gears with it being a 4 cylinder. I'm not in any hurry to complete the 4x4 coversion so I haven't purchased the transfer case yet, and don't plan on doing so anytime soon. Will the 3.55 gears be okay, or should I upgrade to a different ratio sooner than later? This truck isn't going to be a daily driver by any means. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
