You seen alot of JL axels break with 37s?Good luck with axle longevity
Ring and pinion gear teeth on 5.You seen alot of JL axels break with 37s?
With 5.13’s, ring and pinion gear teeth are considerably thinner than stock 4.10’s. 37 inch tires add 20# to weight plus additional weight of a wider rim. Huge stress on all components, not to mention brake wear. It’s just a matter of time until something breaks.You seen alot of JL axels break with 37s?
That is why I am sticking with the 4.10 gear with it's much stronger pinion teeth. With the 8 speed auto and super low first gear, there really is no need for 5.13. As far as tire weight goes, I'm not concerned about that. I have a 2003 TJ Rubicon with stock axles, and 35" tires that was bought new and wheeled very hard over the last 16 years, and those axles are still going strong. All I have upgraded on them were front inner and outer shafts to chrome moly, and CTM non-bearing u-joints. Short of the ring and pinion, everything about the JL axles looks stronger than my TJ.With 5.13’s, ring and pinion gear teeth are considerably thinner than stock 4.10’s.
Im pretty happy with the 4.10s. What do you mean about ring and pinion gear teeth on 5? Sorry.Im new to the 4x4 worldRing and pinion gear teeth on 5.

The ring gear is of a fixed size, so to increase the ratio between the pinion and ring gear, the pinion must be made smaller (reduced teeth) making it weaker.What do you mean about ring and pinion gear teeth on 5? Sorry.Im new to the 4x4 world
Cool Good to know. Im keeping stock gears so I shouldnt have as much trouble out of 37sThe ring gear is of a fixed size, so to increase the ratio between the pinion and ring gear, the pinion must be made smaller (reduced teeth) making it weaker.
Well according to the guy above. Your axels will break and your tires will fly off. Just sayingRunning the 3.6 with 37” KO2s and Mopar 2.5 lift. Daily driver. No issue with it. Been running 37s for my daily drivers for about 7 years now. JL handles them much better than my JKs. Have always had 4.10 gears and an auto transmission.
