Default 5:13 Gears

I am new to the JK-Forum and have a question about gears. When I put on my 35's of course the power went away. I want to re-gear with 5:13's but want I am wanting to know is will they fit in the Dana 44 housing and will the stock E Lockers work with the new gear ratio?

Yes, they will and its perfect combo. I have 5.13 in my dana 30 with and elocker and no problems..... You will like the 5.13 35 combo, better than it was stock.... I know a lot of people running the 5.13 in Dana 44's do IT. You wnt regreat it.


Where in LQ are you located. If you have questions or want to see you can drive mine.

Have had my 5.13's with std e-lockers for over a year and they run great! I have a rubicon so there is 44's front/rear. Also its a 4dr auto.

I have a 2 door with auto and i had 35s with 5:13s and it was fine. Now that i have 37s, i think the 5:13s perform better on the road. Im yet to try them out off road.....hopefully soon though....
