Default 2008 wrangler unlimted regearing help

I've got 37s right now and I'm wanting to regear but I'm not sure what gears to go with. I've got an automatic transmission and I'm probably gonna be moving up to 38.5 inch tires soon.

5.38's but can I ask what axles your running? I would be going to 60's f/r if you going to 38.5 unless mall crawler then f/r 44's minimum

I would not run anything bigger then a 37" tire on the 07-11 automatic, 37's are really pushing it at 5.38

There is a chart somewhere on the internet that's a good gauge for regearing based in tire size, etc.

38.5, 5.38s with a chip and D60s should be good. I can't believe you're running 37s on a D30!
