Ive got the 3.73's and 35's. I use 6th gear all the time on the highway and interstate. I wouldnt fret about it. I even occasionally pull a smaller trailer without a problem.

That eases my mind a bit as that's the gear ratio I've got as well.

Are 5.13's really necessary with a 6 speed and 35's? Or is that just setting yourself up to run 37's?

Found a gear ratio chart online somewhere and it looked like 4.88's should be perfect for the 6 speed with 35's.

35's for just over 2 years on stock 410's...liveable...but since I went 513's....it is better than stock power......I think that 513's are one of the best mods one can do..I say do 513's or nothing at all, specially for an auto.....

My brother has pretty much the same jeep as me, unlimited, 35's, LA lift, but with an auto....he got the 513's and is happy, but said that if he did again, he would have went 538's...
