The 4.10s were great with 33" radial mud tires, I loved the gearing with them, just not tall enough for 35s.

With 33s the HP30 / 8.8 is a great combo and proven time and again in TJs. Just beef 'em up, replace everything, bearings, ball joints and u-joints, and you will be glad you did. With 33s Spicer parts should be fine.

Just hold off on that lunchbox locker till you can afford some alloy shafts!

Sounds like a solid plan, can wait to see the build thread!
