Hi, long time reader, first time poster. Anyways, I am getting ready to do a re-gear on my 08 JK. It's an X model, so D30 front and D44 in the rear. My stock gearing is 3.21 (I was a jeep virgin in 08, didn't know any better.) I want to upgrade to 4.88 and put an eaton e locker in the rear. I know there are a lot of different opinions about putting a single locker in the front vs. the rear. I chose the rear mainly because it is a 30 spline and when I upgrade my front to D44 I don't want to have to replace a 27 spline locker as well. I do a lot of off roading now, but no rocks (my gears suck of course.) I'm going to do all of this myself and have budgeted about $1500 for the project. I guess I'm looking for opinions on what I'm about to do. Is there a better way to spend the money? Any special considerations? My current build is a 4" lift (got 5 ¼ out of it), run 35s, all 8 control arms (short), adjustable front track bar, drag link flip kit, and some odds n' ends I can't think of at the moment. Thanks!!
