I just got a 9 inch, and wonder what yall recommend for the gearing, it didnt come with gears, thats why im asking, and what front axle would match it nicely(besides a front 9inch)?

I went the front D44 with rear 9 inch with 4.56 gear route. Nice!

And that would be for what size of a tire?? What engine? What transmission? What Tcase? If you got 4:1 and a transmission witha deep 1st gear, you won't have to (need to?) got with as deep of a gearing on the axles.
Anyways, what I'm getting it is that you've left too much to even take a guess (the 9inch suggests that it's not a stock vehicle so the drivetrain is unknown plus the tire size is unknown)

You can get almost any gear ratio for a 9". Closest to 5.38 I've see is 5.43 though, not sure if that would be considered close enough or not.

I'm doing 5.13's in my 9", what my new to me front 44 already has.

I'm shooting for 36's, and will have a tripple digit crawl ratio. No illusions about finishing by the end of summer, though.

5.43 is close enough to 5.38, this is totally acceptable.

answer what tires, drivetrain, wheelin terrain, how much road time, etc
