I was out with a Samurai buggy on 37" Irocs last weekend, he had the 6.1 T-case gears and the 4.10s in yota axles. He had no problems on anything he tried including rock garden, trails, deep mud, steep inclines. I didn't really get a look if he was using 1st or 2nd gear allot but it seamed like it was a pretty good combo. I think you could keep the 4.10s in the axles and just go as low as you can on the T-case gears.
