As CJ said, a 4.625 or a 4.30 will work well enough.

Now you're talkin'.

I have the 5.83's and a 4.25 trasfer case.

If I had it to do over I'd go with the double tranfer case with a sami T case.  The sami has the gear reduction for highway speeds and the doubled up T cases would give you a Hi - Mid - Low range.

I added it up once and came out to about 1/2 the price of the way I went.

yea, i got many sammy t-cases around, but I drive my kick every day to work and I flat tow it behind my motor home.  I got a sammy for the hard stuff and want to keep the kick high speed worthy.  So the offset rear is a problem for me.  I just wish i could find a set of R&Ps for it and a IFS lift to keep it sane...
