Default 4.10 Gear ratio

Im thinking about getting a Rubicon. Was wondering how good 4.10s are with 35s? Still able to drive on the highway. Im planning on an auto tranny, so i know the ill deff have to turn OD off while on the highway.

I had the exact setup, but with an X, and I changed them out to 4.88's. If you don't mind taking off the overdrive every time you get on the highway, it might work for you, but for me, I had to change it out.

I had 4.10s with 35s for about a week. The slowest I could cruise the parking lot at school without riding my brakes until I found a spot was like 18mph. My overdrive sent me a candy-graham cause it missed me real bad. I almost got to see single digit mpg too. I love my 5.13s!!! If it was not for them, I would can the lift and go back to small tires. IMO, it was unbearable.
