- 1979 Jeep CJ5 with 304 V8, T18 Transmission, Dana 20 Transfer case with TeraLow 3:1 gears, 4.88 axle gears, Detroit Locker up front and Ox Locker in back with 1 piece axle shafts, 36" SuperSwamper SX Tires, Shackle reversal, MileMarker Hydraulic winch, MSD 6A ignition.
I would change the front to match the rear.
What size tires do you have?

I would stay with your rear gearing. Front seems to be highway gearing IMO . I have 4.88s and would not care to go any lower.

I'm running 35s
I have 3.73s in mine right now with 35s. Its not too bad but the 2.72 ratio is garbage for small tires. Remember when you swap out the 2.72 that you'll need a new carrier as well. That carrier is smaller.
