Quick question,I just bought a matching d-30 and d-35 from a 97 TJ.The tag on the front says 4.10-the tag on rear says 4.11.Is this just a technical glitch,will it really matter? Eddie

Nope, go ahead and drive it and enjoy.

That's the normal gearing for a Dana 30 and Dana 35C when going to 4.10's. Counting the teeth to figure out the ratio is easy. The tooth count for the Dana 30 is 41-10 while the Dana 35C is 37-9. Take the Ring gear Tooth Count and Divide it by the pinion gear tooth count and you get your gear ratio. This is why "the factory didnt stamp them the same".

The difference is so small it don't matter, though.
