I have a bronco with a 5 1/2 inch wild horses lift and a rear end with 4.56 gearing. I think I want to lower it and make it a little more highway friendly with higher gearing. Possible to swap just the gearing? Its a 9 inch, 31 spline, full floater, with a detroit locker. Anyone want to trade out? I can help with the swap but my knowledge is limited. Both swaps would be new jobs for me.

What size tire/ lift & gearing are you looking to go to? These details will help you/ others figure out what your trying to get. Just my $.02

I will trade I have a 3.5 lift and 3.55 gears.You will need to change the front diff gears to match the rear diff ratio.

4.56 isn't too deep unless your rocking a 3 speed and 31's, like Dirtheadz said, give us some details.

I have 33's now. I like that size. I do not know about 3.55 gears? I do like off-roading, just not into rock crawling. I still want to be able to go on the off-road trails and passes. What gearing is best for both worlds? Is there one for what I want? I have a 44 front end. So it has 4.56 gears to? I have a NP 435 with a twin stick dana 20. Will changes need to be made? Not sure what the steering linkage situation is. Will that have to be changed to? Appreciate it!

3.55s are a little low for 33's. Most folks with 33's find 4.10s to be a good middle ground for wheeling and highway use. If you can used 4wd with your current setup, then your front end has 4.56 gears too and both will need to be regeared. If I were in your shoes I'd just step up to 35" tires. You're set up perfectly for them and you'll spend about as much regearing for 33's.

Appreciate the info fellas. I'll keep thinking on it.

I'm interested in buying your lift if you still want to let it go. Thx sean. 719 243 8575

Sorry Sean. I have not checked this and did not get a notice you replied. I went with 35's.
