Title: Need front axle regeared in San Diego area
Post by: StvDiego on January 31, 2007, 11:56:38 PM: Ok so I have nice brand new set of 33" ProComp X-Trerrains that a friend took off a Jeep he bought last week. I have a complete rear axle ready to hang and already geared to 4:88. Now I need to find someone who can regear the front axle.

Any suggestions on a shop, or person, in the San Diego area who can do the job, or, does anyone have an front axle for sale that is already geared to 4:88? I'm looking to get it done within the next week, or at least in time to get out to the desert by President's Day weekend.

Here in Colton they will do it for less money at 4west though,they are reputeable too. Like $450 at 4 west and $6-700 at MIT and everywhere else.

Title: Got your e mail
Post by: aw12345 on February 04, 2007, 03:01:56 PM: I can do monday no problem. You got the shims and collapsible spacer for it though? Also what was the original gearing and where do you want to gear it too? If it has say a 3.55 gearing and you want 4.56 you might need either special gears or a different carrier. the cut of is 3.73 gears and higher. You want to kinda make sure we have everything needed before the scatter and splatter. You can e mail me at aw12345@msn.com and we can then discuss it over the phone if need be
