But even most of the fronts say 2005-2010... not sure what changed if anything to the fronts.

If you search for 2017+ you wont find much either... again, not sure what, if anything actually changed.

no its different. 17+ pinion is short and uses two of the same size bearings. prior was longer with a large and small bearing.
why theres no 5.13 or 5.38 likely boils down to demand. very few people would need such a ratio. for the average joe ( which is most people) ,those high ratios are useless. if they could sell a wharehouse full of them ,they would of made a wharehouse full of them already

that would be great if they made them for the 2017+ which you’ll find doesn’t go lower than 4.88
