called every where....Low Range, Davez off roadand even TG is Out of Stock. Nodbody has just gears in stock, only crawl boxes.  :willynilly:

Here's how I'd make the decision.  First, you have to determine how much benefit you're really going to get from having lower gears and how much of it is a bling factor.  With dual cases you have plenty low gears for most wheeling.  Second, you need to determine how much your time is worth on this project.  If you're not familiar with the gear install it'll take you a few hours to do the swap and there is always a risk that you could do it incorrectly.  I know that part of the install is clearancing the case housing for the larger gears and this could take some time using the trial and error method.  Third, is the $225 difference in cost significant for you?  Will it squeeze your budget significantly and/or prevent you from purchasing something else that you need or want?  Finally, you have to combine these things and make a choice before the assembled cases are also out of stock.
