87manche Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 My axle swap is on track for this weekend. Got the new rear axle setup tonight. Perches and a full detroit. Unfortunately it's still a d35, but I'm not goin past 31's for a while yet, and I could pass up the price for a pair of XJ axles geared 3.73 with a Detroit that needed to be put in the d35. Anyway, it's going down this weekend. Lifting 3 inches, locking the rear and getting rid of my 3.07s in one fell swoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I think you'll be happy. 31s through 31" tires has the exact same final drive ratio as stock tires with 3.54 gears. That's what I was running in my '88 and I was happy with it. There were a couple of instances off-road when I might have preferred 4.10s, but overall the 3.73 setup has been very satisfactory.
