I have a 1987 YJ. Since ive owned it i have put in a NV4500, and NP241 with a SYE kit. It has cv's front and rear, 4.10 gears with limited slip in the rear. Front axle vaccum lock converted to manual cable. The 258 is stock other than the bypassed ignition. This spring im swithing to SOA, i had thought about the Procomp coil conversion but have heard to many horror stories, plus money is a issue. The 258 will stay for now but will someday be replaced with a Chevy 350, or 5.9L cummins. I want to run either 33 or 35 inch tires. If i go with the 35's i will swap in a high pinion dana 44 in the front and a Ford 9" in the rear. Would this be a good idea to do even if i put on 33's. My jeep sees only ocassional 4wheelin. But when it does i use it hard. My main concern is when i do the engine swap i will have to much power for the stock dana 30/35. Lockers may also be installed down the road.

thanks for the help
