That's a good question. I have not really thought about it yet. I'll have to see how it is with stock years. Maybe 4.88s
I have 4.88's and at 70mph I'm taching about 2600. I think 4.88's would be good for you since you live where there is not a whole lot of elevation change. Mathamatically 4.88 is the proper choice for a 37 anyway.

I'll have to look into it more but that does sound good.
I'd go with 5.29's, 4.88's are not enough of a change to warrant all that work and $ imho...
I went 5.29 with 345x75x16's and couldn't be happier...I don't drive it too much anymore, just to and from the trails (~45mi) but I did drive it about 30k miles with the gears/tires and loved it!!! My stock 93 with 33's and stock gears feels like a dog in comparison...
These things don't mind to rev out a little, and with the 4.10 or 4.88's you can't really use OD anyway...
Lookin good man, got the same color on my 93 which is my DD and the paint is hurtin, may go this route...

What kind of lift where you running with the 37s?
Same springs I run now. OME 850/860 combo, with 30mm spacers up front. And a whole lot of cutting.

Looks good! What kind of tires and rims are you running?

I ended up just replacing the hose for the power steering pump. Took awhile to get all the fluid off of everything.
Put a winch cover on.
I still need to do the breather hoses. Snorkel comes in Thursday. I'd like to get it done before this weekend. We will see. Going back to cliffs insane terrain for the day.
I spoke with John from militarytires.net he said if I want to drive the 80 on the streets I should use adapter with the h1 rims. He gave me a pretty good price on 37" good year durawalls and h1 24 Bolt rims. I am looking into a good set of 2" adapters. I saw a fellow mud member sells some but $700 insane for adapters. I still need to decide on springs. I am leaning towards j springs in the front and 863s in the rear.

Why not recenteted wheels from TWF? The pressed centers run smooth and true, without spacers or adapters. And they are great to deal with, phenomenal customer service.

Because they're pretty expensive to have twf recenter the wheels
The start at $200 per wheel already recentered with no need for adapters

I can get a wheel for $20 and then adapters for $300. It's a lot cheaper. Militarytires.net does offers recentering as well and still recommends only using adapters for street driving

All that's left are the back three bolts. A tip to those who try installing a snorkel. It's a pain in the butt to get the washer on and the nut. Put double sided tape on the washer put the washer on then the nut. The double sided tape will also help seal the hole. (Credit to YouTube)
