I haven't driven it that far since the re-gear, but the driving I have done tells me the difference isn't remarkable. Would I spend the money on a re-gear again? I probably would, especially since one of the main reasons was to also get an Eaton E-Locker installed in the front diff and I know that locker in the front will be a game changer.

If you had to do it again, would you still go with the 4.88, or do you think the 5.29 would make more sense for higher elevations?
Thanks!
