Regear help to 4.10s

[JJam2112]

Hey Guys, so I had some issues with some gears locking up and it is looking like I need to replace some and thought maybe this is the time for me to upgrade to 4.10s.

I am looking for help to make sure to purchase the right thing. My Libby is a 2006 6 speed manual transmission. Axel swap is not a option for me, so just going to replace the front and rear gears to 4.10s. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

@tommudd would love your thoughts on this

For the rear end, any 4.10 gear kit and master install kit from a supplier you like/trust.

For the front, must be Spicer/dana, and must be for the Dana 30a parts for the dana 30 will not work

If it were me going to all the trouble and expense, I would look seriously at a locker or LSD

yep thats the plan at least for the rear

MOST ALL places that sell gears do not know the difference between a Dana 30a and a Dane 30, they will tell you they fit and then you buy everything and they do not Beware of where you buy
If you are going to wanting a locker do it right from the get go and none of those lunch box LSDs
Detroit Tru Trac is a great starting point

4WP is a great place to shop if you drive a Wrangler

Does only Dana spicer make the gears? Yukon does not?

Here we go again
Yukon does not because there was such a small market
plus even though they advertise for KJs they are not for the D30a
