so i did a bunch of searching and cant find a whole lot of info on this, i am buying a sm465 with a AA rock box behind it and was wondering how they hold up? what where the different ratios they made? i have heard 2.6 and 3.44? should i just walk away from it and do a 203 range box? what say you thanks

I've been running a 3.44 with a Cruiser 4 speed and stock t-case for a few years. I love mine, never had any issues

IIRC, there were only two choices, the 3.44 and possibly the 2.6 (but I'm not positive on that one)

I have a 3.4 between an H42 and 4 speed t-case. W/ 4.10 diffs final crawl is around 100:1. I love mine, but don't beat on my rig too hard. Case 019 and I've had my rig for 2 years, no issues to date.

I have mine for about 8 years. The only problem I had with it was the original vent tube set up, ( there is a plate on the driver side), I had 90w all over the inside of my engine compartment after the first road trip. It came up through the vent tube. They sent me a different plate with a re-designed vent system and all has worked well since. Even though they don't make them anymore, they still will answer questions.
Its been wheeled pretty hard, and no problems. Although I did just grenade a 3 speed tcase last year.
