    OMG THIS IS AWESOME. I just broke my rear diff so i was going to re-gear to 4:88 front and rear with an ARB up front. I was actually about to order everything from ECGS. It would be awesome if you could make this happen. Very curious to see what the pricing will be.

    I would but I would like my RPMs to be decent on the highway. Im getting a crawler shortly so offroad is taken care of. I would just get them so I can keep the RPMs sorta low on the highway.

    First gens are geared entirely differently. Different engines, different transmissions.

    I would want 4.88s for 35s on a 2Gen, and I agree with 5.29s for 35s on a 1Gen.

    well my truck isnt my dd and its a 4 cylinder.

    its also fully caged with 2 full size spares fuel cell etc, so its alot of extra weight.

    oh okay then your golden

    im not entirely sure, he needs to look at this thread and decide. im thinking probably only ARB, all gear sets but one type

    and that ^^

    It would be cool if we could get ARB lockers and compressors on the deal, that is what I am looking for now. That would be a big order, attractive to the seller on a GB I would think. Thanks for the groundwork.
