I've researched this subject in great depth and have talked with Dana. A little feedback...Avg prices that I've been quoted including labor for what you're wanting to do to sport axles:This has been very helpful!!
I have a 6-speed Sport with 35’s on the Mooar lift. It’s been rough, especially wheeling it! Steep inclines and rocks are extra challenging with NO power!! In 4lo in 2nd gear I can usually get up a steep rock without stalling. But I sacrifice some control because I need to be on the gas too much to crawl up. I am going to 4.88 next week and can.not.wait!!!
I debated 5.13 as I may eventually go to 37’s, but was thinking the 4:1 transfer case would help if I did that? Eventually I want lockers, but for now the e-brake and LSD are doing ok.
I priced getting it all done now, and just can’t swing it. Regearing will be most impactful for me so I’m doing it first.
I have been out off roading 2-3 times a week lately with our gorgeous AZ weather and this confinement.
I will probably swap out the front axle (might truss it, but probably not) and add lockers and the transfer case down the road.
Regear- $1600
ARB lockers front/rear with compressor/labor- $2600
Truss front with labor- $500
Total price of $4700 and you haven't upgraded the sport brakes and you're still pushing your luck riding on a d30(m186) front axle with locked 37s.
Or...you can find stronger/wider takeoff JL rubi d44 axles with rubi brakes/lockers/4:10 gears for around $3k. Axles + locker switches + tazer lite + labor can be done for $4k if you shop around a bit. It's a no brainer IMHO.
