I'm getting a hp 44 to replace the hp 30 in my 91' xj with 8" lift and 35's. The axle I'm getting is the rare 78' f-150 camper with leafs so I want to conv to leafs up front as well and keep things simple. I will need to gear this thing and my rear xj dana 44 that currently has 4.56 and a full detroit. I plan to run 37" mtrs on some beadlocks rims. I have this setup on my CJ7 buggy I'm trying to sell, but want it on my xj. What gears would you guys recogmend for 37's? I could keep 35's, but since I have to gear the hp anyways I want to go nice and deep with them. How much strength am I giving up by going with 5.13 or 5.23 5.38 or so? I don't think I'll like the 4.56 gears with 37's, with 35's I wish I had 4.88 or 5.13's. This hp has a lock rite in it, but I think I will get a spool for it for simplicty and since I have lock out hubs, I shouldn't feel it in 2wd right?
