I ran 5.13's and 32's for 6 months.

 

Just because you did it does not mean it is good for the drive train.

 

I have that setup right now and have no real complaints. I dont break 110 km/hr on the highway but its a jeep right? Towing is a breeze with no shifting hauling two harleys on a utility trailer through mountain passes (kicking horse and rogers). I am looking to upgrade when tires wear out but not before....

 

Xanother for . You'll be find and the extra gearing will be exactly what you need. I run 5.13 and KM2s (that run small) and turn around 3000 RPM on the highway at speed. Sometimes i"ll even leave it in 5th gear by mistake only thing is does is waste fuel.

 

My drivetrain is there to please me, not the other way around. I've heard the rhetoric of driveshaft speeds and whatever else, but I never even drove that combination on the Interstate and doubt that I ever got over 65 MPH. As long as you understand you can't drive a deep geared Jeep 90 MPH, it's fine.

 

3000 rpms is not going to hurt ur jeep.

 

Fuel economy will not be too good! Will be fine though....

 

fyi, if it helps, i'm getting approx. 15-17mpg's w/ my setup.

 

Thank you. It does help. I have around 17mpg with my 33s rigth now
