[QUOTE="redneckengineered, post: 672157, member: 503"] I really can't say. With gears it is tricky because stronger (or however you define stronger in this case) is not always better. Just look at race gears manufactured from 9310 vs 8620. 9310 is a softer material and handles shock loads better. Also, the heat treating process is different between the two. 8620 gears which is what 99.9% of us are running are factory gears designed to last for a billion miles of street driving so it's really not ideal for rock bouncing but it is what we have to work with. I actually have explored and even went so far as to obtain quotes from an Italian gear manufacturer to make 9310 14 bolt gears. My eyes popped out of my head at the startup cost and minimums. I let the project die because I did not see any ROI. [/QUOTE]
