Figured this goes here because it's not hardcore enough for the xj section or the general 4x4.
Ok so I've been looking into the 5.13 and 5.38 gears for these axles. Both gear sets use the same pinion tooth count ( guessing the 5.38 may be slightly smaller diameter pinion ? ) but different ring tooth counts. Is there any significant drawbacks to the 5.38's compared to the 5.13's
This will be going on a jeep xj 4.0 aw4 np231 ( dana 300 in the future ) will be running a 37 military tire but with plans of going 40" in the future so the 5.38 would be a more desirable range but if its weaker then a 5.13 it's not much of a rotational difference.
