I don’t think the gear brand matters much. Find a reputable shop that warranties their work. Usually they will warranty their selected brand. If you were doing your own gears, brand might come into it.
@chevymitchell seems to be the go-to gear expert here. Maybe he has some wisdom?

Thanks man.

@mags - Dana parts for Dana axles is my recommendation. If you want something outside of that, I would choose Yukon second. Dana gears set up very nice and give installers the least amount of trouble.

I would also choose 4.88 for your application.

If you're going all out, ask your powdercoater to polish or coat the outside of the pinion flange itself. It looks really good when its polished.

Build your Jeep based off of tire size. That will dictate everything else.

Any recommendations a long arm lift kit? I thought about Rough Country but any other ideas?

I have several ideas and none of them include Rough Country. Lol.

If you're really looking to keep the Jeep as show or Top Teir, then go with the bigger names. Teraflex, Metal Cloak, or Rock Krawler. There are other kits available, but those 3 will be middle of the road or higher and all offer Mid-Arm and/or Long-Arm kits.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, find aluminum arms. So few people have them, but they look fantastic. https://www.artecindustries.com/jlmidarm-al (For example)

I am making it a show Jeep. Maybe little off roading but I learned on my JK off roading gets expensive when things break. It is expensive but I have friends that do it

If you are making it a show Jeep, why not skip 37s and go for 40s?
In today's day and age, 37s are nothing to "show" for. They are very "standard" for JL.
