    At least a 13 but I would go 18spd all the way, gears are low enough to play in the dirt and tall enough to go as fast as you want

    Not better than a 15spd! The deep reduction is what you need if your gonna run alot of off-road and be heavy.

    What would be nice is if the 18spd was a deep reduction and an overdrive. To me it never really made much sense to have an overdrive for the lowside of the tranny! I know in some applications its need for extreme heavy haul but for 95% of trucks out here its not really needed.

    Then the 13 or 18 will do.
