The axle shop that’s done all the work on my gearing in the past, is hesitant to install 5.13 gears on my dana 35 w/ revolution chromoly shafts 30 spline w/ e-locker. When I originally upgraded to 4.56 gears years ago I had 33’s . Now I’m looking to re -gear again to either 4.88or 5.13 gears. Shop owner said he wouldn’t go 5.13 as the teeth has such little surface area compared to 4.56 gears . The general consensus I’ve seen on the forum is 5.13 is the most ideal for 35’s and restoring factory ratios. The Jeep is mostly daily driven on-road and it’s a 4.0 5 speed. What are you opinions on which gear ratio I should choose, 4.88 or 5.13?
thanks
