If I swap the the gear ratios to the new axle would that work tooAs long as they are both originally 4*4. Make sure the rear gears are the same ratio.
I loved that series and I have seen it multiple times. If you have the skills, you could use those videos alone to get the job done. I know I could do it, but I just don't want to take the chance and screw up 1000 bucks worth of stuff! If my gear guy screws it up he will fix it no cost.If you want to see how frustrating swapping gears in an axle is, check out either ETCG1 or Eric The Car Guy on Youtube. He did a four part series on re-gearing a Ford 8.8 axle on his Ford Fairmont. It is not a job for the faint of heart and it would be a fantastic idea to have another vehicle to get around in until you get the project done. It’s not going to be a weekend project.
