Re gearing 7.5 and Dana 35

[Ditchbanger]

Where is the best place to buy 4.56 gears for my 7.5 and my D35? My stock 3.73s arent keeping up with my 33in mud brutes.

I've only had dealings with Randy's Ring & Pinion. Always had great luck with them....

dave at northridge will take care of ya
free shipping on orders over 100 bucks... no sales tax if you're not in washington (or where ever they are located). best customer service you can ask for.

4wheelparts runs deals on the stuff sometimes.
completeoffroad.com has had some killer deals also.

personally, i know you didn't ask... but, I wouldn't spend money on the 7.5.. i'd 8.8 swap it.

Not D35/7.5 but Summit had them about as cheap as anybody and are fairly close. The brand I got (Motive) included $15 Summitbucks per set, I needed some exhaust stuff (tips on one order, mufflers on the second) so I got free freight thanks to Magnaflow.

So for RR8.8/9.75 3.73's it came out to right around $190ish per pair.

I got the bearings and seals at Rockauto, I got all the pinion seals, axle seals and and both inner pinion bearing sets for the same money as just about everybody else I tried wanted for just the rear inner pinion bearing ($110 for all Timkin stuff)

I got my stuff from TRS, very comparable prices, ordered shocks and a bunch of other stuff while I was at it

I know I should do the 8.8 swap but by the time i buy gears and do everything its going to cost me more. It is my DD so im not going lower than 4.56 but I just want to be able to turn my 33s better.

If you have a 3.0L, 4.88 is actually a more ideal gear for 33" tires even for highway driving, however you would have to swap your 7.5 for a 8.8" to put the 4.88s in (none are made for the 7.5).
I've seen reports of complete Ranger 8.8s being found at junkyards for about $150, which are a direct bolt-in swap if you stay with '93-'09 axles.
