2dr gear question
Hey everyone,
Let me start off by saying I am a Dana 30 up front Dana 44 rear. I am thinking about going to 37's. If I installed 5.13 on my 2dr with 35" km2's until I can get my 37's. Would that be overkill? Also, is it ok to be running 5.13's in a d30? I hear that the gear gets really small and can fail? My last question is, do I really need 5.13's with a 2dr? I am lighter than a 4dr. Thoughts?
Thanks!
Sean

Depends on your usage. Lots of people are running 5.13's with no issues, but if you have a heavy foot or like to spin tires or get stupid in the rocks, you might consider a beefier axle or dropping down a ratio or two.
