What size tyre you going to run? I run calmini 5.14 gears with 31x10.5 and love the gearing. Sometimes i'd like low range a little lower but that's outweighed by the spot on high range ratio. Lots of guys with 31's run 6.5's. I can't comment on low range gears, but LOTS of people run them so i'd have no hesitation buying them myself. Go with whichever is cheaper. |

You will likely find snake racing stuff is just marked up low range and calmini products anyway |

I am running 31's thanks for all the advice guys much appreciated main reason I was going down the 5.1 track is the bigger reduction in high range, as I do alot of beach work and that level or reduction in high range be good. Then when I want to go slow over rocks etc I know I have a good reduction for that.. |

To be honest, on sand, mine needs lower high range gearing to overcome the width of the 31's... you might find 6.5's high range reduction better for driving sand! |

True about the reduction difference, however I still want usable low range with some speed in it, I know 6.5s are awesome however I still like the idea of the ability to carry momentem if I need to bounce over things, that's just me though |

That's what high range is for though. I can easily take off in 3rd gear low. In 5th low with 5.14's i can happily do 50km/hr... that's MORE than enough to bounce over something =) lol I'd think that 5th with 6.5's you might be doing 45km/hr for the same RPM? |

I like being able to put it in 5th at the base of a dune drop the clutch and hold it all the way to the top. With 5.14s i found i was always wanting lower even on the beach or having to shift gears at the worst time. The 6.5s are good if you ever go to a 32" tyre as well as being alot better on the rocks than other gearsets, plus your clutch will love you |

I don't use 5th low in a manual. I also try and avoid exceeding peak torque in low 4th. Think about the speed your jackshaft and input is spinning. Also consider that 5th gear is tiny. |

Only issue ive ever had has been super hard shifting and clutch dumps on high traction surfaces as to be expected. Ive found selecting a gear and rpm and holding it without much fluctuation the key to longevity as well as using sealed jap bearings. I think i was over 100k kms in both the sets ive owned with more offroading than most would see. |

Yeah i seldom use 5th low - it's more used when driving between sections (ie: very short bursts) when it's not worth stopping and changing to high range. I'd say in low range in mine, 1st gear gets used 80% of the time, with the odd snatching of 2nd gear. 2nd, 3rd and 4th, are used to drive to the next "bit". |

I have 6.5's when I'm wheeling 2nd gets the most attention. 1st can be too low sometimes, but 2nd is just nice a lot of the time. |
