Well worth the money if you rock crawl. If you right pedal it then don't waste your money.

4.7's are cake to install.

The extra low range is gonna be great.

not sure how the trails are down south, but running the trails at Brown's Camp etc I would hate to only have a 4.7 gearset. there are times in between 4.7 obstacles that you still need low range but even 5 th gear and 4.7 is too slow and you will be holding up a trail run.

Hence why I have dual cases 2.28 stock up front with 4.7 gears in the rear case...gives me 20 forward and 4 reverse for choices

i really wanna run browns camp too. well i guess i'll have to save for some dual cases. because that sounds like the best of every world. but seems to get quite costly.
so looks like im gonna stick with stock case gears until i win the lottery!

dual cases run about a grand to put in by the time to get the D/S built etc
4.7's you are just looking at the cost of the gears...that is a big plus...
