You never saw me make the statement that anything under a 5.13 is crap. Geez. Did I wrong you in another life, or do you just enjoy being mean? Let me know and I'll just leave you alone.

My apologies Redneck, I was getting you and Seer confused, with his statement that anything under a 5.13 is a waste and to keep OD on when towing...

I forgot to say that I have a standard when I first post this thread. I never heard of 4.27 gears until I saw them on a gear chart someone else posted in another thread awhile back. I just wasn't sure which set up to run and I didn't want to do it more than once. As far as the towing. . . I made mention that my JK is a DD that pulls a trailer half of the time. I am looking at mounting 33's and not going any larger in the future. Like I said before, I want to end up being geared some what lower with the 33's and new gears than I am now with the 255/75/17's and 3.73's. Thanks for all the input.

Dude, 5.38's might be in order. You running a Dana 30 up front? 'Cause that might not be too good. 5.13's I think would be minimum for 38's.
