Tire size with 2.5 lift

[WickedBruce]

How much does it cost to regear...and what do you need? Is there a re-gear thread?

 

[Abby922]

the ring and pinion and its about $250

 

[Ry' N Jen]

Actually a new ring and pinion kit will run around the $360-$375.00 price range unless you can find a used set of 4:10'a out of a four ****** KJ.

This is too funny im either spending way to much or everything is crap huh?
But my uncle would be doing it

ThunderbirdJunkie is not the one that said you spent too much. He spent over 4 grand on his KJ earlier this year...He'd budget for some good tires...what kind of tires are these?
Good tires will last longer and perform better...so unless you're getting a smoking deal on some blem Coopers or something...he'd tap another 400 bones out of the ol checking or savings.

So if it's only 375 why doesnt everyone do it?!

Labor counts up
plus front diff parts, and you have to pull the front diff out which takes a few hours to R&R . So...you can easliy spend 1300-1500 pretty quick

I know the labor initially for mine was $600 front and rear... which I'm told was pretty cheap. That doesn't include parts.

 

[brokendad]

The labor on re-gearing will easily be about 1.5 times the cost of parts.

 

[Ry' N Jen]

Why spend all this cash on a two wheel drive?
Better off trading in your 2wd and taking the $2400.00 and adding it to the price of a good used 4X4 Liberty.
Even stock it'll go further than a lifted 2wd with all the bells and whistles...

Yeah that's a smoking deal since it's 5.5 hours alone to R&I the front diff just to regear it.

We paid close to four times that!
