I am sure this question has been asked before and I spent the required 32.3 seconds searching before posting.
Beat me up for not searching long enough if you will, but then answer the question. :twak:
I recently sold my old factory Jeeps wheels and tires so I have MONEY to spend on Jeep parts. I have read that re-gearing will help get the MPG back closer to factory.
Irregardless I knew that when I went to larger tires I was going to have the change the diff gears eventually, the gas usage just moved it up the "to do" list.
1. What brand of ring and pinion should I consider?
2. I found a package deal on completeoffroad.com for 4.56's and installation kit for $449 (http://completeoffroad.com/i-124189...0-chrysler-8-25-gear-install-kit-package.html) Good, bad, or ugly?
I am going to have them professionally installed as per several recommendations.
Anything else you can think of to do, or watch out for?
Oh, and I would like to install the locker in the 8.25 right now, but I cannot afford it. The one I am getting is a "lunchbox" locker so I should be able to do it myself anyway.
