with 31s and 4.88s you're worried about your damn clutch? That'd be the last thing I was worried about
You shouldn't ever have to slip the clutch with that setup. Actually, I can't think of anything I would be worried about with that setup. You won't break the 30's R&P with 31s, and that's the only driveline piece I'd be worried about. Put the 41 tooth in and shutup already
