This is not usually the case. A max tow hard top sport may have 16/57 could and a Rubi soft top with no tow may have those as well. Generally sports are 14/56, 15/56, and 16/57 while rubis are generally 17/58, 18/59 or the unicorn 19/60. My 15 Rubi is actually an odd ball 17/59.

Nobody *needs* a rubi, we just want one and beefier ring gears are nice but kinda moot when your axle tubes and/or steering knuckles can bend just as easy as a sport. I'll give ya one on the NV241OR though... that seems to be the only Rubi-specific upgrade that stays on heavily modded rigs and is a pretty good TC. I still don't need 4:1 gears for what I do but it is a strong and reliable unit so it's a win in the end.

Anyway I knew what I was getting... I've been driving Jeeps for 20 years and this is my 6th one (2JKs, 2 TJs and 2 CJ5's). I'm not really interested in hardcore 'wheeling anymore... I just wanted something to (reliably) take the family out camping/exploring in the Utah backcountry and didn't want to do any large mods so the Rubi made sense.

One real benefit of going with a Rubicon is resale though... Wranglers are high as it is but Rubicon resale value is through the roof.

Thanks for the input folks. Sticking with my lil Altitude! Plus I don't want to remove the mods I have. So....She's going under the knife next week to get regeared, ARB's front and rear, and beefing up the 30...I know I know...People say it's silly to beef the 30 up but I didn't want to spring for a Dynatrac yet.

I would hold off on that. I was bout to just change my ring and pinion the other day but someone on here gave me great advice. If you plan on doing something bigger in the future no point in opening it all up twice and spending money you don't need to. I would either wait and just put D44 front and rear later or beef up your D30 with no intent of going bigger down the line
