Re-gear 2016 2-dr Jk

I have a 2016 2dr auto rubicon with 3.73 gears. I have 35 inch tires on it. I live in WV so lots of hills. This is my daily driver as well as weekend off-road warrior.

I'm am scheduled for a re-gear next month. The installer is strongly recommending 4.56.

I was personally thinking 4.88.

Given the high cost for the modification I just want to make the right choice and not regret one or the other.

Any advice or recs? Thanks for the help

With an auto, and if you stop at 35", the 4.56 is a good ratio. If you are going to end up on 37" tires then go with the 4.88.
