I’ve been on the lookout for a 2000-02 4.30 rear axle and front diff for a couple years. Finally found them near me out of a 2000 LC. They’re asking $950/$650 for the front and rear so $1600 total. I could then try and sell my 4.10 units to recoup some of that cost. Only potential problems are the mileage is unknown (I’ve got 209k on my truck and I’d rather not put in parts that have a lot more than that) and condition is unknown. Also the 2000 was rolled so I’m worried there might be damage, bent axle or who knows what else abuse it has been put through. If everything goes smoothly I could easily have the swap done myself in a day or two, not something you can say about a traditional re-gear. Since it’s my only vehicle right now that’s important.
I don’t need/want lockers, AHC works more than good enough for my use.
I have 33’s now and the 4.30’s will perfectly correct for that size. However, I will be going even taller before next winter but I’d prefer to do high and low transfer case gears so I can benefit from a much deeper low range than just a ring and pinion swap would provide.
What does mud think?
