Default aw4 or ax-15

i just got an ax-15 and a 231 from my friends 99 xj because muffed up my 231 and bought his combo for $100 bucks. now im thinking about putting the ax-15 in place of my aw4.

what would you do? i have everything for the swap with a new clutch...minus pedal asbly. just dont know if i want to go away from the aw4...running full widths and 37's. what would be better...im just looking for some opinions...............

Would you re gear? and what is the gear ratio you have now?

I assume with 37's she is not a dd, so I prefer 5spd. I think having control makes it more of a challenge.

guess it's a matter of preference... as for me, I'd prefer the AX-15 as well.

yeah i know....i just need the front case half...my front output bearing made the whole a little big when it went out so there is a lot of play. but of course if i use the ax-15 wont have a prob with that.
