5 spd sidekicks come with 5.12 gears from the factory and 4.62 in autos so the 5.89s will work ok. the 4dr sidekick above was mine and was a 2wd 5spd when i started. i put yota axles with the stock 4.10 gears and added a samurai divorsed t case which has a high range of 1.4-1 and will give you a final drive of 5.79 with the 4.10 gears and pulled the 35" tires just fine at highway speed. if i were you i would find a 2wd trans and do the same with a samurai t case because its cheaper and has more gears to chose from and also gets rid of the slip yokes. or you could spend alot of money with trailtough and by there undertaker case for $1300 and still need to do alot of mods. as far as suspention i linked mine and it was great on and off road but will take a bit more thought and money to do it correctly.

good luck on your build
