Default Rear End Selection !!!!

I currently have the Chrysler 9.25" rear end with 3.92 gears AKA TICKING TIMEBOMB!! I was wondering what rear ends you guys are running out there because i am either going to change the gears and the differential out or i am just going to put a Dana 60 with 4.56's under the rear of it. I guess what i am trying to say is how well do you like your aftermarket setup?

i have 4.10 and the Auburn LSD....it's not bad but if i did it over again then i would go with the detroit trutrac....as for the chrysler 9.25....my opinion on this is varied, but i never had a problem with it in the 50K + that i put on it (problems i did have were not caused by rear diff) only reason i went with the auburn unit is cause it's better then stock, not i didn't switch over cause i was worried about it breakin

I went with the Auburn because at the time there were a lot of issues with the Trutrac...breakages...customer service...warranty issues. It may help to do a search over on some of the Jeep forums cuz I'm not sure if it has been fixed or not, but I am still happy with my choice.

I wont be doing the dana 60 anymore i cant find a kit to keep the wheel speed sensors so that is definately out of the equation. I really like the idea of the auburn with 4.56's. What brand of gear set do you reccomend? yukon?

Maybe i can get an answer from you Hemi. What's up with the Chrysler 9.25 rear end and the 3.92 gears? Should i be concerned?
