Ideally I would like to run 5.13's and a doubler. This rig will only be on the dirt, no street. So it won't ever have to come out of 2-low or double-low.
I want to run 35's (or similar).
For less than the price of re-gearing I could set up a doubler.
-If I run 5.13's (no doubler) my crawl ratio comes out to 47.
-If I run a doubler (w/3.73's) the crawl ratio comes to 85.
Running the doubler seems like the way to go, however, with 35's and 3.73's would that be hard on the drive train at all after the T-case even with the doubler? (axle, driveline, etc.)
I plan on swapping in an 8.8 and a D35, 3.73's seem pretty common, so that's most likely what I'll end up with. I'll eventually re-gear when I have the money, but that'll be pretty far down the road.
Any thoughts?
