I don't wheel hard blue ratings at most
no. it's the other way around. here I found a diagram that explains it perfect

Ok I get it now, bottom line is that I can't run my gearing on a 3.73+ truetrac carrier due to its design for bigger gears?

yes.. so I suggested that you do the 8.25 swap now because it does not have that pesky carrier break. you can put whatever traction device you like in it and leave the front alone for now

I can't financially since i have other things that come first before jeep extras. I'll just keep my eyes open for gears/used truetrac or something in the future. I'm sure my jeep would drive nice with 3.73 gearing with 31-32s. I still don't see why they have to make the price so much more even if it is supply and demand, seems like a good way to d*** someone over
