5.13's or 5.38's?
I have 37's sitting in the garage waiting on my 4 FT lift to arrive. So now I am focusing on ordering my gears. What should I go with? 5.13's or 5.38's?

what do you have now? I am running the stock 4:10's with 37's. does fine for now. I will be upgrading to 5:13's Later (as money permits) but have not had any problems other than slight loss in the jeeps power/tork

From the questions I have asked installers and other jeepers. the 5:13's will probably be closer to what I think your after. But if your going with a larger lift/tires in the future the 5:38's might be for you.

I'd go for the 5.38's,I have 35's with 5:13's and an auto trans and I think that I would like 5:38's now,but I do live at 7000' and the Jeep struggles here compared to when I travel to a lower altitude.
