I've decided I'm going to re-gear my 2010 JK Unlimited Sahara (3.8L & automatic) now that I have 315/70R17 Duratracs. I currently have 3.73 axles. D30 front and D44 rear. I've decided 4.88 is the best ratio for my driving... mostly flatland highway up to 70mph+.

So far I have 5 manufacturers in the running:
Superior,
Alloy USA,
G2,
Ten Factory,
Precision Gear.

I'm looking for input. Pros/Cons of each. Personal experiences. Other viable manufacturer options.

Anything that can help me decide.

Thanks.

 

Im doing exactly the same setup on the same jeep, except mines a 11'. I went with G2 4.88s and ive heard they're good. I wanted 5.13s but with the d30 i took as much beef as i could. Mine are getting done next week. Install, gears and master overhaul kits. 1800 canadian. G2s come with timken bearings too.

 

I did my research and found G2s had good reviews, priced well and available locally through a installer. Having a local installer who carries G2 means less hassle with possible warranty issues.

 

Unless something has changed semi-recently, they are all still coming out of the same place overseas, and tossed into whichever box has the right mfg's logo on it. Compare price and warranty, and check with your installer to see which they recommend. (buying through the installer can eliminate some headaches if there is an issue later.)

 

This!!

 

Regeared with Yukon gears... No issues at all here...Exactly that ratio 4.88 on my 2012 JKU...

 

Superior was our only choice.Been running them since JK was new

 

X2. Go with what you can get the best deal on. I would be more concerned with the install than the brand of gears.

 

Um, ever compare a Chinese forged wrench to one forged in USA? Labor cost is too high....don't skimp on the part! superior = made in USA or Germany. Alloy usa is a lie..made in China.

 

i went with Motive 5.13s on my 2010 JKU and love them. no issues what so ever. lots of highway driving at 70+. they really get the job done on the trail
