Jeep Pinion Gear Swap

[Rusty]

I have a 1994 Wrangler with 4.0L/5-Spd and 3.07 dana 30 (front) and 35 (rear).  The addition of 32" tires really makes it lug around in 4th and 5th gear.  I am wanting to upgrade to 3.55 or possibly 3.73.  What size can I upgrade to without replacing the carrier?  On a tight budget.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You cheapest route would be to swap in a different set of stock axles with lower gears.  

Like 4cylinder auto would have 3:73's and 4 cylinder manual would be 4:10s.

I've got a rear with 4:10's out of a YJ that could be bought cheap.

If you do that, go ahead and upgrade youre d35 to at least a d44.  It will be benifitial in the future.

With 3.07's, you will need to change the front and rear carriers.  The carrier breaks are:
D30: 3.54/3.73
D35: 3.07/3.55

Really, carriers aren't that expensive as long as you have open diffs, compared to the rest of the parts for the regear.  With 32s, you might think about 4.10 gears.

Man Keep your eye out on Boards For used stuff I was able to upgrade My axle For Lil or Nothing and I Mean Less than 500 Bucks (Install and Gears and Setup) to a Ford Nine inch and As for gears Look On Accuautoparts.com they Have some really Cheap gears for sale and When you swap out gears remember install and Setup is a Big chunk of the Price. Just an Idea...... I do Have a guy that will do the Gear setup for cheap though.
