4:1 case and 4:30 diffs do it too. That puts you about right on the freeway for power and mileage (LPM?), and at a pretty good rate off road in low.
I just swapped out my 4:1 and 4:30's for a5:xx case because it was brand new and twin sticked.
5:xx case and 3:73's are a go for that tire too.
So 6:5's
or
4:1 and 4:30 diffs. (this was perfect for the road)
Or
5:1 case
I like to gear the case a little less than is needed, so I can fine tune with diff gears. It also takes some stress off the case having some reduction in the diffs as well as the transfer.
With just a 6:5 case, and big tires you need a cradle for sure, The case wants to do circle flips in it's mounts.
You might want to measure your tires, my 33x12.50's measured out a 32" when at street pressure under the weight of the rig.
