Default 5.13 gears

I am getting ready to purchase gears within the next few days, I am wanting to know which gears everyone recommends to get. I have 35" tires as well speak and may upgrade to 37"s later in the year. I have been looking at getting yukon gears to replace my stock 4.10 in my 09 rubi automatic. What does everyone running in their personal ride.

Me and a buddy run 5.13 Yukon gears. As long as gears are correctly installed you shouldn't have a problem

^^^Agree. Yukon, Nitro, etc. I picked Yukon for my tons for no reason other than got a better price on them vs. Nitro.

5.13's and 35's here.
The shop I dealt with that does a tonne of gear swaps, prefers G2 gears over the others, but likes Yukon as a very close second.
They say G2 seems to have better quality control, and they have less instances of needing to send R&P sets back for irregularities than they have experienced with Yukon, and definitely other vendors. FYI, they were previously high on Yukon, but have since moved to G2.
As said, they do a tonne of gear swaps, so, possibly shops with less volume would never see a Yukon set with irregularities. They said All vendors have bad sets, just seems less frequent with G2's.
Simply regurgitating here.
