I plan on re-gearing pretty soon and adding a arb locker in the rear. What brand gears or the best and can take abuse?

I plan on switching to 5:13 on 37's by March. The front will be switched to a prorock 44 in a year or until it breaks. But my 3:21 stock gears are pretty bad with 33's already so I know it can't work with 37's.

Running 5.13 gear in a D30 is a bad idea. Don't do it. The spider gears will be tiny and hold up to no abuse. You would be better off buying the PR44 now and running 33s(with stupid deep gears) until you can buy 37s. You will avoid blowing your gears up on the trail and be able to do plenty without being constantly worried about braking shit. just my :twocents:

EDIT: you could do 4.88 gears for 37s too many guys here do and you could manage highway speeds better

Northridge 4x4 has one of the best deals on gears and overhaul/install kits I've found. They use Yukon gears and Motive Gear kits that use Timken bearings. All good parts and an awesome price.

If 4:88 is a better option in a Dana 30 I'll probably go that route. I just need the Dana 30 to last me a little just to get my money in order for the prorock.

I wouldn't let your temporary time with the D30 effect your end goal. 5.13s are the way to go with 37s...

X2 on this tons of guys run this including me. In theory the pinion is small and could break but like I said tons do it and they are fine and especially for someone like you who plans on going to a pr
