Suzuki LJ 20 gears vs sammy gears - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I was woundering if someone could tell me what the stock axle gears are in a 1973 suzuki LJ 20? I am thinking of running sammy axles but would like to know if I am going to need to lower the sammy gears first. Thanks.

5.66 to 1 stock. 5.38's in a Sami axle should be close enough. Additional from LJ10 website:

Transfer case is a 2-speed; Gear ratio in high (H) is 1.7146:1 and low (L) 3.013:1

Overall reduction ratio (H) Range 1st gear (Low) = 38.53 2nd gear = 23.20 3rd gear = 14.84 4th (Top) = 9.71 and Reverse = 3.53 now in (L) range 1st gear (Low) = 67.73, 2nd gear = 40.78 3rd gear = 26.08 4th (Top) = 17.07 and Reverse = 67.73

Turning radius = 4.4 m (1 4.4 f t)
