5.13's with 35's and manual transmission. Much better than the 3.21's I started with.

3.6 turning 4.10's with a 6spd on 33's. Based on the rpm's,I could go up to 35s with no problem.

4:10 turning 35's with the 3.6. No real issues here in Colorado going up grades. Max rpm I've seen is 3800 steady with an occasional 4200.

3.73 with 6sp on 33s in 08 jk and no problems and get decent gas mileage. My buddy's got 12 with 3.21 and 33s and 6sp and I driven both. In my opinion my jk pulls better just with those gears

3.6 pushing 35's through 3.73 gears, It sometimes gets a little bogged down if I gas it hard from a slow roll or stop but other than that no problems, still plenty quick getting on the highway and doesn't feel much slower than when I had 32's. My MPG hasn't been hit that bad either, just a little bit over 1mpg less than when I had 32's.

I have no plans to upgrade.
