Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I plan on doing gears and brakes as it stands now, but I have a 29 spline 8.25 already locked in my Jeep. I figured if i can get a 8.8 for somewhere around 120, buy gears and install kit for 300, then spacers for 100, and a locker for 260, I'd be in for about the same as gears, brakes, and install kit after I sold my 8.25. But now that I spell it out it's almost still not worth it if I plan on staying at 33's for a WHILE.Its been awhile since I've messed with stocker axles, but I believe the stock D30 and stock 8.25 are exactly the same WMS to WMS measurement.
Depends, if you are planning on putting money into gears and locker anyway, you might as well jump out of the 8.25 and into something else. However, for someone like Scott, (whom I believe already has gears and will probably stick to smaller tires) I'd have to agree with Rob it would be wiser to just spend the ~$125-$140 swapping in ZJ discs.
