It really depends on where you wheel. If you are mostly in the woods doing ORV trails, probably not a big deal. You want to play in the mountains, it's a must.

I'm running 4.88, so very close in gear ratio. I wouldn't even play in the rocks with my old t-case at this point. As someone else noted, there are times in the big rocks where I'd like 5:1. The advantages are numerous, especially with a manual. Rather than dropping off a ledge, it creeps over, no compressing the suspension and crunching skids. No need to gas it and break stuff or hook up and jump forward. Rarely need brakes on nasty descents (and brakes result in losing control). It really depends on where you wheel. If you are mostly in the woods doing ORV trails, probably not a big deal. You want to play in the mountains, it's a must.
It's relative, I've spent enough time out west to know MOUNTAINS, we have mountains, for the most part.
I'm dense, I rock crawl now and the 5.13 feels almost too low, wouldn't that make the rubicon t case way too low?
I work with a great off-road shop and they've called me with rubicon t cases that people have upgraded and are looking to sell pretty reasonably...

I'm in Maine, we have rocks, bigger rocks, boulders and dirt/mud and most of it is in the medium sized mountains...

I had gotten a quote on an Atlas t case, my weakest link in my drive train right now is definitely the t case.
I have pro rock D44 and D60 so I'm pretty sure the weakest thing from the tires to the tranny is the t case...

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of upgrading the factory t case, I hope the rubicon one is a bit stronger, or is it identical to stock, just better gearing?
