I have a friend that has front and rear ARB's and 3.54's in his 44's but wants to go to 4.88's. So can you just change out the case, 1/2 of the case or are the high gear ARB's different on the inside so changing the case isn't going to work.?

I think only Gear Man will know the answer to that one.

I hope he is on here tonight if not I will have to PM him. Not your standard newbe question of can I fit 33x12.5's on 8" wheels. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

it is 3.92 and up so you have to change the whole case. both halves or the cheap way use spacers maybe front but i wouldnt on the rear

if arb would sell you the case then yea you can swap it but they are not usally that helpful you could get a thick 4.56 gear out of a rodeo rear end and it will fit on his 3.54 carrier almost 4.88

Damn, Gearman, you are good!!! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I would agree that for the rear I wouldn't use a spacer since this Jeep gets driven quite abit. Thanks Gearman. I will send you a PM for a quote on all the stuff we will need.

I was trying to do a similar thing with a D44 Detroit. I called Tractech and they wanted $450 for just the case. I decided to sell the Detroit and get a different case. Bummer.
