Sport 2016 Gear and Locker upgrades

[Mike_JK_Houston_711]

Maybe I should just go with 4.88. I doubt I'll go to 37's. not gonna fit with parking structures here.

Both front and rear?

so ARB Air Lockers is the way to go? Front and Rear?

Whatever you gear one axle to, you must do the other. And if you can pony up the budget all at once, get ARB front and rear both. You'll be glad you have them at some point down the road. Of course, you can always start with one of the two.

Just put a locker in the rear & run the front Dana 30 unlocked. That's what I'll do, and what Cozdude & OverlanderJk did serious wheeling with. If you ever put a Dana 44 up front, lock it then.

Oh yea, forgot about your 30 up front. Yes, what he said

Should I upgrade the gears first to 4.88, or I can do lockers first, then next few months the gears?

Thank you guys for your inputs, its hard for me cause we don't have a dealer where I am, I had to ship it out to me on a boat. the dealer is like a 2 hrs plane ride. so I am very thankful I found this forum or else I am the person

I only read the first paragraph but all I can say is save your money and install it all at the same time. Otherwise your spending time and money to do it twice

Jks makes a good quick disco. It's what I ran for a long time

I wonder what else I need to be on par with Rubicon.

 

[notnalc68]

A 4.1:1 transfer case & a Dana 44 axle up front. You'll need something like an AEV procal to program your computer for new gears, tire size change, transfer case swap, etc.

I agree, 5.13 in a D30 is fine and dont lock it. Does anyone here remember when they sold 5.38's for the D30? That was a bad idea, 5.13 is the practical limit for the D30.

I ran the Richmond 5.38s in my Dana 30 for almost 2 years while I saved up for a PR 44.
Ran them with 37 mud grapplers on quite a few trips.
Was waiting for them to blow up on every trail but they never did.

if I chose a 4.88 on dana 30, will I able to use it if I go to dana 44 in the future?

No. Your best option would be to save for a pr44 after you regear since it will be way stronger than a stock d44

Just suck it up with the stock gears until you can drop the Prorock in there.

I doubt Prorock will come to the Philippines, I have better chance on ordering the gears. but incase so both front and rear to prorock 44?

I have 4:88 locked in the rear and a d30, I dunno about going lower gears in the Dana up front man . And if you plan to run 37's like I do eventually 4:88 will be good. But I plan on getting a new front end and will stay with 4:88 .
But that's me and I'm sure there are better reasons to go lower. But it scared me to have anything above 4:88

I think I'll just do 488. I don't see me doing 37's anytime in a few years.

top end

if you go with the lower gears what does that do to your top end on the hiway ?

 

[mo0s3]

4:88 is night and day man. And if you ever decide to go 37's you'll get lower Rpm's .
Do you wheel alot or mostly street ? If your mostly on street and your gonna stay on 35's maybe look at 4:56 gears .
But as many of us I'm sure know, you always want to upgrade lol .
I'm pretty happy with my set up tho

With 4:88 gears and 35 12.50 Toyos I'm looking at 2800 rpms at 70
