Default 31in 2.4l... regear or no?
Hey guys,

I've got a 2006 2.4l TJ running 31in BFG a/t tires and steel wheels... It's a 6 speed, should I re-gear from my OEM 4.11 to 4.56? how would that affect my gas milage and off road/ highway performance? sorry i'm new to this stuff.

thanks!

It doesn't sound like that would make much of a difference, nor does it seem like you'd need it. Couldn't you easily run 33's with the same gear set?

Yeah I don't think it's that bad, I was just wondering if it would help me a little on the highway or actually being able to use 6th gear...
i'm screaming at 65-70mph here
