"5.12- all 1.6 5 speed 2 doors and all 4 doors, auto and manual, except 91 8v 4 doors"
 I am trying to get this statment. Are you saying that all 4 doors came with 5.12's no matter what tranny? I am not doubting you I am new to kick stuff. I have 2 sets of gears from 4 doors and I THOUGHT they were 4.62's as they are from auto's. They were bolth 16 valve motors. Not sure what years.

Are they from 3 speed autos or 4 speed autos?

Is there a transfer case reduction for the Kick like the GRS1 for the Samurai?

Yeah check out Trail Tough's website they just came out with a 4:1 kit for the Kick. They do really good work.

Your high range I think stays at a one to one ratio.

Yea the 4:1 Kits only lower Low range, The High Range remains the same. You will have to do a Axle reduction or a dual case set up to reduce High range.

Thats one nice think about the trackicks. The 4 to 1 lies dormant while at freeway speeds (2wd). Less chance of potential problems. Ive been running the original Calmini set for several years now with no problems.

OR you fit a 2wd gear box with a sammy/SJ transfer case behind it. I think I'll go that route because the Calmini R&P set will cost me a fortune over here and I know someone who has several 2wd gear boxes in stock.... This would lower the high range too 8)
