Default Not your typical re-gear question

Holy crap, So it took me a month and hundreds of threads to pick the right ratio. Now I start my search for shop and parts. Shop picked but parts, OMG my head is spinning like it did when I didn't Know what ratio. I am using this for my daily and weekend fun toy. With all the brands out there I am familiar with Superior (only on american muscle) but there are tons and price ranges to equal. What brand did you choose? Whats your experience with some of the brands out there?

I've had experience with Yukon gears and they have worked great.

All gears for the jk are made in Korea, India, and China, re-boxed here by different companies. Your guess is as good as anyones as to what brand came from where.

US Gear is making 4.88's for the JK D44. All others are still produced overseas and re-boxed. Compare prices and warranties and get what you want.

Your first step should be to check with your installer though. They may have a preferred brand, or may only warranty gears that they supply.

x2, Id let your installer get the gears and everything u need if they are providing any sort of warranty on their work. Then there is no way they can blame parts if they pic them out.
