Gears & Lockers

Just cause they make them, doesn't quite mean it's good. At least this is the vibe I'm getting from it all. Could only be so much bigger.

Since your thread is turning into a shit show, who knows if you'll get the answer you need. Truthfully if I were you, look at the big picture of things for the future. If you really plan on 37s, save for a stronger axle. Here's what happened to me: I spent about 1700 strictly for a regear, then about a year later did a front axle swap paying money again for front gears and labor. Then about 6 months later did a rear ARB locker, another 1500ish. I wish I had thought it out better and done it once. And now, I'm considering going up a tire size, and also with all the gear/tools I carry, I wish I had gone just one ratio lower. Moral: Look at the big future picture and spend the money once.

That's exactly what I'm trying to solve. Thanks for personal anecdote to clarify. Will likely go with 4:88 and the rear ARB. :beer:

I think that's wise. And if you leave the 30 up front open and wheel it wisely, it may just last you for years.
