Gearing

Hi, Has anyone changed diff gearing to return overall gearing to standard while running 33" tires? And if so can you still fit an air operated diff locker?Thanks

You can put a diff lock in anything as long as the locker is available. As for the ratios of your pinion and crown gears you need to do both diffs. There is some talk elsewhere here about the ratios for different sized tiers.

you have 4.3 diffs now. You can get 4.56 diffs from a 88 to 91 trooper with petrol motor or 89 to 94 Mu but double check the ration before buying as not all have these ratios. They are bolt in swaps
