Yeah if you still have time to change your mind about the gear selection tell them you want the 4.10 for sure. As stated, with the 3.6 you will most likely be happy with 35s.

Thank you.. I have another 5-6 weeks before I get the jeep from the factory so I'm browsing my options and want to make good choices. Since I'm not doing anything hardcore, I don't want to spend money on things things I don't need.

So you think the 4.10's will be good for not just daily driver but light trails and camping/hiking in the mtns???

I have the 3.6 auto with 3.21's and 35" tires and it is just fine it still pulls fine on the highway (it isn't going to win races but I can keep those pesky ricers when they try to go around me on on/off ramps). When I do axles I will re-gear to 4.10 or 4.56 but that is a few months away.

I'm running a 2012 Unlimited Rubicon w/ Auto, 4.10, 35" MTRs and a 3.5 RK lift. I does fine, though if I were you I would go 4.56. Like I said it feels fine just not optimal. If your going to spend the money on a regear might as well get optimal. Let me know if you have any other questions.
