Is there a bolt on "rubicrawler-like" solution that would mimic the gearing of 5:38s? I live in the northeast where re-gearing is extremely expensive and risky (I can't seem to find a shop with a good amount of installs under their belt). I was wondering it there is a gear reduction option that can be installed between the Rubi T-case and the tranny that would give a similar ration to 5:38s. Considering I have and auto and would love to go to 38s or 40's for tires, I could stand to have my high range gearing be as high as in the 6:xx range. anyone had some experience with this?

 

It was an OTD price quoted by Steve's Jeep country in Epping NH. if anyone knows of something closer to $1000 in the new england/north east, I'm ready to take the plunge.

 

$800-1000 per axle including parts is pretty standard anywhere from I have read and been quoted.

 

sounds like its an east coast problem. Texas, AZ and CA shops advertise both axles OTD for $1000.

 

My buddy's shop in Northeastern PA charges 250.00 an axle. He did mine and I have almost 20K on them and they are perfect. His shop is a speed/muscle care shop. He rebuilds rears in his sleep. I ordered the install kits and gears and brought it to him.

 

not bad, i could make that journey
