Around town/hwy running 40"s, the 5.38's are fine, but on a few trails with steep sections, the stock trans and engine seem to be working harder than I would like them too. I'm going to do, at a minimum, the Rubicrawler addition or maybe just an Atlas T-case. If this isn't the route you like, you need to look at Ford 9" or a Corporate 14 bolt, for the taller than 5.38:1 selection. Currie Axles makes a Ford style 9" that is (I think????) compatible with the JK. The Corporate 14 bolt, well you are looking at custom builder territory there, but anything is doable.
well the guy doesnt seem to be concerned about offroad, he wants to go fast on the road, well 75 atleast and he feels 5.38 is not good enough.

I think it is Currie that makes the 9" for the JK which would probably be better than a D60 any ways for the weight factor. I believe about 70 lbs less for the 9". over all, most people will not see justification for the expense to run a 9", a D60 and 5.67, or the 14 bolt just so they can run 75mph or higher, but hey, it's his money, lets build him new diffs and tranny.
