(Tyres & Diffs Included)
Maybe if anyone out there has put a Rubicon Transfer Case in a Sport CRD can let me know how it goes and what they think of the change in Ratio's
At the moment for my Jeep 1st LOW is too Low on some Hills i just spin wheels and dont get anywhere but 2nd LOW can be power robbing if i dont keep the pace up, i can be stopped mid climb!

CRD + 3.73 diffs is ideal for me (stock was 3.21 when I ordered). Lowers the stock gearing slightly for daily driveability especially with a camping trailer in tow, yet still retains excellent economy. Has been perfect on 32s for 99% of the offroading I've done with the diesel's torque curve. Changing diff ratios helps out every time you drive the Jeep, on road and off.
