Dropped off to my friend while on vacation to have diagnosis. I knew the rear had been on its way south but its very very loud now and time to replace.

Who has the best drop in 3rds for the $? Truck has 220k so I dont want to spend a pile now. When I sell the Fj then I will build this truck up from the frame up until then its dd.

Wanting another open diff with that same crappy ~ 4:30, no locker etc. This is a daily driver / work truck with 235r15's.

Speaking of which, I have a tire decal stating a tire size change from the dealer thats taped inside the door jam. It makes me uneasy about whether or not the ratios were changed... I want to say the decal states 225's but I went 235 as 225's are so hard to get for a reasonable price.

I dont really want to change both front and rear 3rds unless it can be done for a really reasonable exchange price. Doing so isnt smart as I just bought 4 brand new Khumo tires... Damnit!! I wish I had bought 33's as I would hqve changed out both pumpkins!
 
If it were me, I'd go with 4.88s at least. If you are looking to not spend a bunch of money, buy the ring, pinion and setup kit and have a shop set it up instead of buying a whole drop in unit. Also, front factory 4.88s can be found pretty cheap in junkyards and on the forums for when you are ready to do the front to match.
