5.37 Gear rear end?

Save your $$$....IMO......definitely not worth the effort.......refurbishing the third member, seals and bearings, and absolutely horrible fuel mileage and your labor effort .......

You wouldn’t know good time if it fell out of the sky, landed on your face, and started to wiggle.
 
Next it will lead to the burning rubber issue.. :lol:

Oh my yes. Fry tires thru the gears. Never could get my Duster to hook with street tires and 5.13's.
At one time there was even 5.57 ratio.
Not that this has anything to do with the OP's original question but my favorite all time Mopar ratio is the 3.73. Stick or automatic.

And just how do you know this......first, define a good time.....it varies per individual......second, the third member wouldn't fall out of the sky...it's too heavy and third, the term "started to wiggle" is relative but to what??? Perhaps, you could better define your statement or be more explicit.......did you do a cost analysis vs "good time"?????

That's awesome. Pop it in, go do wheelies, and then rip it out and drop in a 323. Sell the 537 ring and pinion.
You know a real "Quick Change" would make this entire conversation rather moot. :lol:

A 5.36 QC low gearset would flipped have a 3.17 high ratio.

Perhaps you meant Halibrand.
