Lift is done!!

[tyates007]

Appreciate all the help and guidance of the forum. List is installed. OME all the way around, ARB UCA, Iron Rock UCA/LCA on rear. Double stacked idolaters on rear, top boiler plate and 3 conduit nuts for clevis on front. Also put DTT front and rear and swapped to 4.10 gears while I was at it. Creative Steel bushings in the differential and steering rack and pretty much everything is new now in the front end including hubs and CV axles. I have a set of 2005 Rubicon Moab wheels but I need to get tires for them. Right now it has 2022 Rubicon wheel with 265/70-17 tires on it. Will see how these work out then decide on final size for Moabs although I kinda like the black and silver of the current look. I still need to build the sliders and mount the ARB front bumper but pretty happy with how the 20 year old project is coming along!

Rears for the 8.25 were simple and I got Yukon ring and pinion off Amazon. Front was much harder. Finally found a new Dana set on Ebay and they were a pretty penny. Originally I had sourced a 2.4L and purchased the whole carrier and front end. Guess the seller needed the parts and my money more than I did cause I ended up with neither parts or the money.

Oh bummer man sorry to hear about that. Some people really suck!!!
From all the phone calls and research it looks as though no one produces 4:10 gears for the liberty’s front axle anymore…..
And finding a 4cylinder donor is almost impossible at least from all the looking I’ve done.

If you are really keen I have a 2.5 CRD I'm pulling to bits but postage from England would probably be horrendous.

Once in awhile you can find the fronts under this Yukon part #, YG D30HD-410L. That is how I found mine from Overstock Differentials. Yukon still list as a valid part number on their website and shows backorder options available but you should call and ask before ordering.

I have spoken with Yukon and they get there D30a 4:10 gears straight from Dana Spicer and even though it shows a back order the date is 2 years out.
I’ve tried soooooo many different ways to get a set of gears and it all comes back to Dana has discontinued them…
Yet another thing I procrastinated on and have now missed out.

Yup, I found the same thing. Took me two years to track down the parts for the front as they are Dana only. Last time I checked Yukon wanted close to $900 for a set as well, almost three times any other gear set.
