It's a learning process. The hardest part is reading the patterns and knowing what they mean.

As long as all the numbers are right in the end you can't go wrong.

Yeah for now then maybe...maybe do a 4.7 later on. Gonna beat the life out of this one first. Chose 5.13’s because it’s the best to push these 40’s from my research. Gonna be awhile before I install them though. Maybe around July.

On a trail rig, there's no such thing as too much axle gearing. I run 5.38's on 39's. Wish it was lower.
