I'm in the same spot as the OP and appreciate that feedback. I do need to install the gussets still though! I imagine my ball joints will go pretty quick once I have the weight of 37" Coopers and bead locks on them.

You should strongly consider regearing to 5:13 vs 4:88s given the 37s
Even tho you have a 3.6. Do the regear once and forget it.

And this. Didn't notice you were considering 4.88s.

Even if it’s a daily driver with a lot of highway miles? Been hearing mixed things between 4.88 and 5.13, esp for the 3.6

I went 5.13’s with 37’s and the 3.6. I wish I had gone 4.88 when on the freeway and glad I went 5.13 when off road.
Are the freeway miles at any altitude or up any significant grades?

No all freeway miles in LA at sea level . Wheel once or twice a month so thinking 4.88 but let me know if y’all disagree

That’s what I run, 4:88s and 37s. It’s great for a daily driver and weekend off-road Jeep. It runs at 2900 RPM at 75-76.

I was planning on getting 4.88 for my 37's but the shop owner (once I asked for advice) suggested I go with the 5.13. I'm very glad I did as he suggested!! I would not of been happy with the 4.88's.

Worth doing the revolution kit for the rear axle as well during the regear or should I just leave it stock ?
Read a lot of conflicting stuff . Price diff is another 500 ish

Are you in need of it now or just trying to be preemptive?

Preemptive in that I’m prepping for 37s . Since shop will be doing regear .. figured I’d do shafts as well. I’m leaning towards doing it now
