If you're talking about changing from the stock ratio on that item from the normal 2.7-to-1, don't bother. I have been thwarted on trails 100 times for lack of ground clearance or traction. Never thwarted for lack of raw torque.

So 3.0 to 1 might be a better option for adding that part that I don't have

Seems that the people in the know are really down on the ultra-low everyone used to go with. Many say a 3:1 is about the best if you have good axle gearing for your 1:1.

I got some ideas of where this is going and think i really like it....
