you don't need to re-gear for 33's

 

*L* "need" is a relative term ...dont exactly "need" 33's either.

We all know we actually "Need" 35's or better, we just put up with the smaller stuff in the interim.

While i do agree that with my 4.10's, my 33's are just right...


If i had 3.21's, i wouldnt agree at all.

 

Yeah, I think for 3.21's, 25" tires would be about right...

 

Thanks guys just contacted Jeep and the guy told me I had 4:10 in the rear end. I thought this was strange because I just have the standard X package without the tow on it. Is it possible to get this package with those gears in the rear end. If so that would be awesome, might go with 35's if that is the case.

 

well...I think your wise to doubt that you have 4.10's as well, '07 X's without tow option came with 3.21 stock with 6-speed...do you trust the dealership you called?

 

I have an '07 X with 4.10s but no tow package, so it is possible. I think someone beat me to stating you could have it added as an option.

 

I have 33 x 11.5 on my X with a stick and 4.10's with a 2" BB and think they match up really well. I rarely use 1st gear on the street and don't have to downshift at highway speeds. 1st and 4 lo gives me a pretty good rock crawling speed off-road.

 

i ll tell you right now 33" tires and 3.21 are worthless. i have to pull out in first. and towing my brother inlaws boat (muddytoy) that weighs 3500 lbs is horrible.

oh and 4 lo when wheelin isn t really great either. when i let the clutch out that thing want s to move! i was told by the service manager at my dealer, that if i come in for a clutch one more time (has had 2 clutches put in it before 3000 miles) that it is because of the high gears and wheelin. i have to slip the clutch which creates heat and burns the grease out of the throw out bearing and that is were i get my clutch squel from. the last time we went out, i did all back trails the whole day and it was fine. now also i have 6" of lift now where i had 2 before.

the next step with my income tax is 5.13 gears and 35's or 37's.

 

If i where you, i would go to Jeeps website, contact customer assistance, them with your Vin number, and request the build sheet for your Jeep, and see what that says. I would trust that far more than some salesman at the dealership. When i requested mine it only took a couple days to get it.

 

I didn't call a dealership I called Jeep directly, and they said that it listed 4:10 gears on the build sheet. They are sending me a copy through the mail so I guess I'll find out
