Alright currently in the middle of a "yj" build and I'm using that term loosely. About the only thing YJ left will be the tub but I don't have to pass emissions with it hence the YJ. Anyway, I've come across a good deal on an atlas 5:1 which is what I had in my last crawler behind a 4.0. We had a love hate relationship, loved it at certain parks and it flat sucked at parks like superlift. I was dead set on a 3.8 for new build but this 5:1 is really a great deal.
So, vs running the 3.8 behind the LS with say 4.88 what are the downfalls of running the 5:1 with axles at 4.10? I'm thinking it should still crawl well but would still be able to have plenty of wheel speed when needed. Also should have stronger gears with 4.10s... Only con I can come up with is its going to put extra strain on the driveshafts. what are the other cons I'm missing?
