I believe you. That site was pretty misleading, though.

I wasn't sure if it was going to take the 5.13 or the 5.38's as it is not a rubicon. As I understand it you can't get past a certain size on the unlimited x's... I'm sure some of you could correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll take it into mepco ERRRRR Teraflex and have them take a look at it as well. I did elephant hill in Moab this weekend and it did fine with the stock gears, but the drive out and back to SLC was not an easy one... Plus 15-16 MPG doesn't cut it on the freeway for me. I want it back up to 18-19 minimum.

Thanks again for the feedback... Anymore takers on the question relating to the damage that can be done to the clutch/tranny/engine when running 3.13 or 3.73 gears on 37'' tires?

I think you'll just experience premature wear and tear from the added stress on the driveline, at least until you re-gear...but, you might want to consider beafing up that front D30 with gussets and tube inserts
