Calmini is the only place you're going to find gears that low, 5.83 but I hear they don't hold up to well. Suzuki put some 5.62s in the first batch of sidekicks but extremely hard to find. Gearing is the hardest thing to deal with when building a kick. I ended up putting in a dual t-case using a sami case which reduced my top end 41% and plan on putting 4.62s to balance it back out.

do they offer reduction for the t-case? when they built this rig they didn't think about adding big tires.

Thanks anyone else have any ideas?
And what years had those gears in them?
and is it a specific model of side kick or just those certian years?

The only place you will find the factory 5.62 gears is in the very early model year 89 sidekicks that had a manual transmission and a carbed 1.3 engine.  Most 89 sidekicks had the 1.6 EFI engine.  As stated, the 5.62s are very rare to find.  That being said, I do have a set for sale in the for sale section.

but that only affect the 4L is my understanding not all the gears like the sami ones do but i may be wrong.  Now have a way lower 4l would rock right now I'm trying to get my car to hold fifty five in fith gear with my 33X10X15 tires, it wants to hold that but it just can quite i can hold forty five and randomly 55 but not all the time.  I'll look at your gears and see how much they are thanks guys.

do sammi gears work in a tracker?  and if they do then what about putting sammi 5.38 in my car i mean it's not perfect but it's a noticeable improvement from 5.13 gears.  I would think it would compensate for like a 29 or 30 inch tire.  I may just be all sorts of wrong though.  http://www.rocky-road.com/zukringandpinion.html (http://www.rocky-road.com/zukringandpinion.html) this is were i saw them.

No because they are to small when compared to ring gears in a tracker.  I think however you could use the samurai diff in a tracker rear end with a few small changes.  I cant remember for sure,  You could look around all the zuki sites for someone selling tracker gears.  I just sold some 4.62's

Trailtough has a reduction box out now called an Undertaker. It is a 50% reduction only unit (no shifter)... It is kinda spendy but will correct for 33-35" tires... It comes as a complete kit and it's in the $1,300 range... It goes between the trans and t-case... You have to do driveline mods, but otherwise a pretty simple bolt-in...
