31's and 4.10 gear ratio... will I like it?
I've been buggin' ya'll (hell, ALL ya'll!) about my upcoming regearing project
for a while now. Bear with me; I'll get it done soon and then I'll bug you
about something else <g>!
I am planning on some 31's (from the 30's I have now with my 3.07 gear ratio)
as soon as I regear. Why not 33's, you ask? Well, this is a dual-purpose
vehicle to the extreme; I need to keep it polite for when I take the Volvo on
the 30-mile commute to work and my wife drives the kids on local errands or
whatever in my TJ. In other words, I can't afford yet another car, already got
the TJ, Volvo, and a pickup, so the TJ needs to stay road-friendly. So no lift
and 33's for now.
So. I am regearing to 4.10 to give myself some future breathing room.
True-Track LSD's front and rear at the same time. Is my Jeep gonna be too
jumpy and mule-ish with 4.10's and 31's ON ROAD, or will it be a little
low-geared but serviceable? Off-road, ----, the lower the better, not worried
at all about that.
Thanks ya'll! Hell, ALL ya'll <g>!
