203 vs. 208

Which is better a 203 with conversion to part time (crown gears) or a 208 ,will use for wheeling,but not too extreme.

Re: 203 vs. 208

I have a 208 in my burb. I love the low range. It is like 2.69 or something. I have wheeled it quite often in colorado and it never gave me any trouble. The 203 is said to be stronger but i think its low is not even 2 to 1. If you have a light truck it wont matter as much. I would vote the 208 for light wheeling.
