Default 4.56 or 4.10

I'm looking to upgrade my gears 13 wrangler 3.73 currently running 35 with winch and bumpers. What would be better 410 or 456. This is a daily driver a lot of highway and mud and rock crawling

In the case where you may someday turn it into just a toy. Go 456, nobody iv heard of that went that way for 35s has complained

I dont always drive where others cant. but when I do, its in my Jeep. Stay muddy my friends

Between the two, definately 4:56. Anything less wouldn't be all that noticable, not to mention the expense for just a slight change.

I have a 2013 JKR auto with stock 4.10's. It does ok but would be better with 4.56. I not going to change mine, I just recaled for tire size. I believe that a standard tranny would need 4.56 but not sure whats best for them.

4.10s would be a waste of money...im doin 4.56 next month at the advice of the shop. They also stated 4.10s cost more anyways. Not sure how accurate that last statement is...

If I beat you to it, Ill let you know how it goes.

Goin into the shop Monday for 4:56's
I have a 6spd 2013 JK with 3:73 and 32's right now.
Monday it gets a 2.5" RK lift, 35's , and 4:56's
It's my double duty DD and toy. Would go 4:88's if it was just a toy.

I have 4.10s in my DD 2012 JKU Auto and 35s. It drives great around town and on the hightway. That being said when i haul my M416 trailer i wish i had 4.56s.

I would go 4.56 do it once, do i right and call it a day.

If you don't have a rubi you will have to purchase different axle shafts to fit the gears if I'm correct. Spline count will be different

The ring gear and pinion has nothing to do with the axle spline count, that depends entirely on the carrier/locker. If he doesn't have a Rubi he'll need the take offs out of one of the early JK X or Saharas that came with 4.10s from the factory or an aftermarket set
