Regearing brings back the power loss suffered by larger tires.

there is a regearing chart floating around the forum. there should also be one on quadratec's website.

leave the regearing alone untill you move to a taller/heavier tire. people normally only regear when they have larger tires than the 32's.

regearing basically gets you back to what your jeep used to feel like, the stock feeling with stock tires... it doesnt add horsepower or torque it only allows your rpms to run higher.

so no, there isn't a point to regear untill you move to higher or bigger tires. regears arent cheap either, they tend to vary in prices from 1000-2000 for both axles.
