Jeep Wrangler gear swap

[ReservoirDawg10]

We have any jeep mechanics here? Or someone that the ODT community recommends? If you have had this done, what did it cost? Want to have 4.10 gears installed in a 2016 JKU. I'm in Gwinnett, so metro Atlanta area is best.

I just discussed this with a buddy of mine and it seems the price for this can be substantial. I remember back in the day when it was $400/axle, but that was gears and labor only.

What axles do you have? Depending on the axle and your current gear ratio, the carrier may need to be swapped as well. My buddy was quoted $1,600-1,800 to do the front and rear of a Wrangler recently.

Try to find an axle guy at a dealership to do it under the table on the clock.

Word of advice: Go at least one step lower than you think you need. Don’t fear the gear.

Cost me around $2000 years ago at Southern off-road specialists in Alpharetta. New gears front and rear and added a truetrac in the rear.

Just factory axles. No lockers. 3.21 ratio currently. Running 34's, and will be going to 35's when these RG's are done for

I have 35s on mine going with 488
If you plan on ever going to 37s go to 528

is your an auto or manual? A programer can fix lots

Auto. And I have a programmer. I switched up tire size and all that when I put on the larger tires
