would you think 33's are too small for the 5.13's? and i'm assuming you have a rubicon.. with 4.11's... which means you have a dana44 up front... I have a D30 ..not to0 comparable... If I had a rubicon I would without a doubt get 5.13's.

Thanks anyway bud but i'm all the way south in Louisiana I have a buddy that just moved up there.. he claims he hates it.. but i'm sure theres way better trails up there.... everything is pretty much flat here....

My 07 Sahara has 31/70/17 BFGs and it is Perfect! Now my 08 is the Rubicon and it still has the 325/70/17s hope soon to have the 37 BFGs on.

I dont think 33s are to small. It will feel strong!

I have a D30 front. I have not damaged my front axle at all. But the pinion is pretty small on the 5.13. What gears do you have now? I think 5.13 is too low for 33s probably... but is it a 33x12.50 or a metric tire that measures like truly 33" or over even? A lot of things could make a difference. If you are never going larger than a 33, I would say no way go 5.13. I might would find someone like me who upgraded and get their 4.10s even if I had a 6 speed. Then you only really have to pay for install. I dunno man. I will tell you that however low you think 5.13s are in your head, it is not that low in real life.
