Post subject:  Questions about the front diff
How much does a replacement diff from jeep cost?

Would people buy a replacement stronger diff if it cost twice as much or even 3 times as much as the replacement diff for a stronger diff case?

In order to build a replacement diff housing, would you need more than three circles in the right place with the right size? What else would be necessary for the design?

I'm just curious.

My dealer quoted me $587.00 for a new front housing, W/Tax a little over $600.00.

We now have more options from junkyards from totaled ones.

I am interested in retrofitting a WK steel dana 30 for the IFS into the KJ.

I would rather pay that money toward a SFA and be done with it!
Now if a real, Usable, Strong 4-5" lift/front suspension (no dang cradle style drops) that would fit 33's and live while wheeling came along to go with a Tough front diff that could hold up to 4.88's..... :shock:
Of course then you would need to get a rear diff that could hold 4.88's too...

sorry for that run on sentence..... :roll:

So I take it no one has tried to put a used steel IFS diff in the front? Maybe from a wrecked 2005 Grand Cherokee?

Just go 4:56 and get the 8.25 in the rear
