I saw AA say talking about something like this a while ago and at the time he was saying it was only for the Rubi. Now that I am receiving some enlightenment from you all (thank you very much BTW) about this, does this mean it'll cut my low (Sahara) to about 5.44:1?

As long as we're talking, will we have to alter our drive shaft?

I'm starting to feel a real need.

low low would be 21.01 out of the case

with the additional length of the doubler you would have to stretch the front and cut the rear shafts

From what I understand about this product (yes, I have personally contacted them) it takes the place of a factory adapter/spacer that is already between the tranny and t-case. No additional driveline mods are necessary.

I am bummed that it won't work with a 6spd. I just got back from moab and the lower gearing would have helped a ton.

That's what I got from them, too. It's a bolt on mod w/ no additional mods required.

That being said, it might be enough to snap an axle which would necessitate a "mod" called new axles!

Your tcase + doubler ratio would be ~7.4:1 * your first gear * your axle ratio and that'll give you your crawl ratio.

I was thinking the same thing. I want this bad, because I like going slow. However, I don't want to upgrade the axles other than the components within. I already have chromoly shafts up front and 5.13 gears. I'll probably replace the rear axle shafts at some point too.

There is part of me that wants one, and another part that says thats a little to slow for even me.
I know you're jokin, but check this out. This fellow built the slowest 8N tractor in the world. You could LITERALLY do EVERYTHING that you described. It crawls along at 12 inches an hour.
