i am curious wether or not i would be almost over revving my jeep with 5.13s and 35s with a 6 speed also.
i know that is a lot of criteria but i was just wondering.
i drive a lot of highway so i am concerned that i would have high revs at around 75 mph.

what do yall think?

it runs about 3,000 rpms at 75 mph..

It'lll handle it.

Some people are happy with it. I had 35s with a 6speed and I would have liked less, if I did it again I would go with 4.56s max 4.88s I traveled the highway everyday and it didnt like higher speeds(anything over 65)

This is just my opinion, I am not telling him to do this, I am simply suggesting

I'm in the same boat. I've got 35's and a 6spd. 4.10's just aren't enough... for me anyway. I 'want' 4.88's but there is an opportunity for me to grab a front axle close by that is already set up with 5.13's, which of course would just leave me to regear the rear.

Anyone actually running a 6 spd with 5.13's and 35's on a DD? I do alot of driving in the 70-80 mph range and I don't want this thing screaming when running down the road.

Piginajeep

it will be screaming at 80 mph.

We have 5.13's on our DD. Its fine at 70-75. Anything more its screaming

hmm so really 4.88s is the the way to go for 35s on a 6 spd. how are 37s with 4.88s? just in case i want to upgrade later?

STUPIDFACE

for me its not the revs im worried about at 80 mph......my 2 door jeep is.....well lets just say it dont act like a sports car....

corey d

Piginajeep

thats exactly why i went 5.13's.

4.88's isnt enough for 37's.

My JK will do 80 mph all day long and feel safe going that fast.

smbundy13

pigina... do you have 35s or 37s?

Piginajeep

35's.

I'm stepping up to 37's when they are worn down.
