Re-gear question

LAJK · Nov 22, 2016

I'm getting ready to re-gear my 08' JKUR with 38k miles on 37" tire's.
I'm curious if it is worth replacing the carrier and pinion bearings at the same time? What have you guys done and what do you think works best?

I didnt personally do my gears, but I would think at any mileage it would be smart to just replace all the bearings with fresh ones while you have everything apart anyway. They can be pressed off, but easy to mess them up.

I would. Even though that mileage is low, you have to pull the pinion bearings off anyways, so instead of putting old back on, I would do new ones. You can get a master install kit and they're pretty affordable.

Yeah, just do them at same time. It's minimal extra cost for the piece of mind

As everyone has stated, there really is no good reason not to especially being you have an 08.
