I really was kiding. But I have a real question: How many of you guys have the Bilstein 5100's? Can they handle the pounding you guys give them off road? If so, would you recommend them?

Question reguarding gears, So I want to go wheeling this weekend but unfortunately have mismatched gear ratios front and rear. Would it be acceptable to run with the mismatched gears for a one day trail ride? Not real sure If I want to do it or not I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem as there well be plenty of places for the extra bind to slip out.

BTW its 3.73 up front and 4.56 out back

Just what you need Randy, to tear up more stuff........I wouldn't risk it, but just for fun, how different are the ratios?

I don't think it's a very good idea. Especially with front dig. You'd be fine to stay in 2wd though.

So yes or no, don't really know if it is a viable option or not?
