I would only bother doing one or the other.
I also wouldn't sink a lot of money in a 30.

Trust this statement!!!  At the end you are still not big enough to do the big tires and too small to sell to some other sucker for nearly what you have in it.  Ask me how I know :)

5.13 will be fine. Greater importance relies on proper set up for them to live.

I've been running the same setup for almost 2 years. I've got a heavy JKU  auto on 37 mtrs. I've been trying to keep the components strong (within my budget) because I haven't towed yet. Currently working on that though.

Front:
PR44, 5:13, RCV, ARB

Rear:
Stock 44, artec truss, ARB, Ten Factory shafts

​I recommended sleeving the axle purely to save coin. It is a very strong option and you will already have the axle apart, so there isn't much labor to drill and weld. obviously we have several different trussing options too. Both are great options!

I appreciate everyone's input....like my wife was taught on her 1st ride with GATR at Beasley Knob, "they make replacement parts, when things break" and "don't worry about those plastic sliders, they'll rip off eventually"
I'm not sure who I need to thank for that but its probably Bobby or Tony.  //SLAMIN//
