I haven't put alot of miles on her yet, but what a difference. Broward PowerTrain did the install in Ft Lauderdale, great bunch of guys.

I would like to thank you all for all the insight.

Btw I have a 2009 Sahara 6-speed.

 

Nothing like a gear change for better acceleration.

 

Nice Is your Jeep lifted w/bigger tires? Or are you still running Stock...

 

thats sweet where is that place located and how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking thanks

 

I live in Pompano Beach, have 2-3" lift with 35" tires. The install was a little more then what I saw posted in other threads, but finding a place down here to do it wasn't easy (didn't really look to hard though). The total was $1550 installed.

 

that 1550 is everything? gears and installed?

 

if that is gears and labor out the door that ain't bad actually.

 

Lucky lucky you! I'm still saving for my gears!

Good luck!

 

At $1,550 you got a great deal! I put 4.88 gears in my jeep (4dr JK w/ 35" tires) and I love it. Had lots of folks at the shop try to talk me into the 5.13 gears, but I followed the recommendations of the manufacturer. You'll find that your setup will do well everywhere.

Mine is up getting new gears as well as we speak along with some other goodies.

I went with the 5:13 gears as I rarely dirve it on the highway and lower will suit me better. Also if I ever want to go to 37s I will already have the gears for them.

Im also curious about your impression on how much better the 6 speed drives with the lower gears. Did it just move everything down or does it feel better across the board? Im hoping it helps my highway drivability but don't expect much. I know it wll help down low off road especially if wheeling in 4 high as it will help lower me down for slow crawling. Now on the highway I hope it gives me a feeling of more torque to get out of my own way.

Any experience?
