Ready to re-gear the diffs and t-case to crawl the Sierras on 37's. I'll be adding both under-drive and low range reduction t-case gears. My decision is between loading the diffs with 4.88's or 5.29's. I want to gear down as low as possible for the trail, but don’t want to be stuck in the slow lane getting there.
Putting aside the strength debate between 4.88's and 5.29's, I'd like to know how these gear combination worked out for you.
I've read multiple comments from people with 37's, both sets of t-case gears, and 4.88's saying they were happy on the highway driving 75+ mph with no problem, but wish they had lower gearing for crawling. I can't find anyone running the same setup with 5.29's.
Anyone with 37's, both sets of t-case gears, and 5.29's?
How is the truck in the highway? Is the gearing too low for the road? Is the minor difference in gearing between 4.88' and 5.29's even worth my over thinking?
