Hey Chris, I to have a manual and I'm heading towards 37's. What ratio do you think would work best? I was thinking 4:88 but this thread has me thinking now..haha

I'm going with 5.13's at a minimum. That will get me back to the factory range. However it's heavier and takes more to get it rolling. So I might end up with 5.38's.

And they bang it out fast. Mine were done there in one day. Worth every penny.

Good deal. I figured a little lower than stock wouldn't hurt anything. Just gonna build everything else up to handle the 37's then buy tires and come down to get a regear. Looking into PSC hydro assist and chromo axles now.

It really is, I asked at a shop in Bakersfield and they wanted $1800 for a regear! I think I'll just take the drive and go with Evo lol

Yeah I bet...way better. I'm sure you're loving the new ratio. :thumb:
Works better? How so? That would mean less travel. Coil retainers do the trick. I guess rock krawler needs to redesign their kits and recommended shock lengths to paychex spec. Lmao you've been waiting to throw something out there huh. Funny. Don't be such a tool :thumb:
Internet=true. Don't do it. If your coil unseats your rig with spontaneously combust.
So you put that purdy rig of yours in the rocks yet? :beer:

i dont give a fuq what RK is running or how. once again, my KING 2.5s fit perfectly to my EVO plushride coils and NO unseating. what other people do to their rigs is their problem!
Why dont gingers wave at other WAYALIFE members when they see them on the freeway?

Oh yeah, loving it for sure. :yup:
Not trying to take sides here but, a well designed kit doesn't necessarily work better, it work "works properly". If your coils are unseating, the manufacturer incorrectly chose to provide shocks that were too long, plain and simple. If it really were such a good idea, Jeep would have incorporated that feature along with its e-disco on Rubicons. Fact of the matter is, coils that unseat can potential catch on things like jounce stops, brake lines and ABS lines and do damage them. Believe it or not, I have seen it happen.
Travel isn't everything and too much travel can cause other problems as mentioned above.
Coil retainers are nothing more than a bandaid that can be ripped off just as easily. Again, this is something I have seen happen and if you play hard enough, it is something you would know that I am right about.
As a matter of fact, I do think RK should redesign their kits with shocks that are of the appropriate length rather than provide bandaids like spring retainer and try to sell it as a good design idea. Of course, that's just me.
Please, are the dramatics really necessary? I what I have seen is what I have seen but of course, you can choose to believe whatever it is you want to believe.
Again, not trying to take sides here, just sharing what I have seen. Me, I would never purposefully run shocks that are too long just for the sake of gaining a bit more droop but, I'm new to all this Jeep stuff and, what would I know.
