Dana 30 re-gearing

[Jackrabbit41]

So for about 3 months now Ive had a ford 8.8 ready to swap in including a new 5.5 inch lift.  :doh:I have everything to do the lift and swap and i know how to do it, but i haven't yet because its different gearing then my dana 30 upfront right now and i need a drivable car and 4wd here in the upcoming colder months. But now that i have this 1995 4wd cherokee with a non CAD dana 30, I'm going to pull it out and have it re geared and put that in my comanche. I'm not going to build it up yet because i don't have the money because i started school and can't work as much, but i just want to replace what i should and get the parts to re-gear it. I'm just wondering what i need to buy for a re gearing? thanks. Id like to get the parts so that i can do this ford 8.8 swap, new 5.5 alexia lift and then this dana 30 all in one weekend. 

 

BTW I'm not doing it myself, but i just want to have all the parts ready to bring to the shop. also, the shop in town here is cool with bringing in your own parts.  . :MJ 1: . (me after swap)

What gear ratio is in the xj d30? 8.8 is 4.10 right?

That's basically all you need, Unless the current gears in the d30 are really low, Then you'll need a different carrier.

I'm not sure what they are because the tabs are gone. And ya the 8.8 is 4.10s

BTW how's the exo cage? I think I might build something like ryansatrocks one. I have all the tools and I've help build one so I think I might give it a whirl in the near future

Spin the tire once, Count how many times the pinion spins.

 

IIRC 3.73 & Above is the carrier you need.

 

3.55 & below is the wrong carrier

 

 

Cage is coming along nicely, Got 90% of the front cut out & tack welded together. Tomorrow we should finish the whole front cage, Probably take it off & completely weld it too.

Other then that is it a direct swap over? Also, because I no longer need the vaccum because of my ax15 t case, can I just take it all out?

[Lee21490]

Direct bolt in, Yes you can remove all the vacuum lines to the CAD, when you swap the other d30 in.
