Default 5.13 gear

Have a 2007 wrangler Sahara unlimited with 35" tires with a 2.5" spacer lift...how much would it help on gas mileage if I got new 5.13 gears and is it worth it for wut it cost to buy them and get em installed? The gears are still factory btw

Any idea what your factory gears are? If im not wrong over gearing can be just as bad on gas mileage. Do you plan on ever going over 35's?

I have a 2dr and it made all the difference in the world with 35's to go to 5.13 I can only imagine how nice it would be in a 4dr I had 4.10
