Auto or stick?

 

I'd go with 4.56's just because i live in the mountains and would prefer to have the get up and go

 

agreed.. get the tires first and see if you are over thinking things. I have 35s and 3.73s and don't have any complaints whatsoever... i've heard similar statements like the one i quoted.

 

Very cool .. thanks all.

 

It's a auto, sport

 

If you're going to drop the money, I personally would go 4.56 rather than the 4.10. Especially if you ever wanted to tow something or get into heavier duty wheeling. Not to mention, most people always eventually want to go to a bigger tire. Rather than have to pay to regear twice, I'd set it up so you can always upgrade to a bigger tire if you wanted. Less money you'll have to spend in the long run. Once you start upgrading your Jeep your mind might start changing a little or a lot on things down the road. I'd rather be over prepared, than under prepared.

 

Unless you are def going to 37s, tow alot, live in a high altitude area, or never go above 65.....4.56 is too much gear for 35s and the new Auto. I've been maniacally researching this, talked to several gear shops, AEV guys, other members actually running 4.10s and 4.56s and have come to the conclusion that 4.10s is the best gear for 35s. One of my club mates is running a 2012 Rubi Auto with 4.10s and 37s and says its fantastic.

 

I have the 2012 auto. Came with 3.73s but I switched to 4.10s when I put on 35s. Does great.

 

I get the feeling I could start some bar fights with this question .. thanks for all the input..

 

I have a '12 JKU Auto, I went with 4.56's and I'm running 315/70-17's (34"). I love this set up. I live in Flatland Florida and I see an average mpg of 17. I really like the pep and overall performance of the 4.56's. I'm sure you'll get a hundred different answers to this question and this is just my personal experience and opinion. Good luck!
