Default Another gearing question!

I have no experience when it comes to gearing other than what I have read on the forum, so maybe you all can help me out with this one! I have an 09 auto unlimited with 4.1's. If I re-gear to 5.13's do I have to re-gear the front if I do the rear or can I just do the rear? Thanks in advance!

You have to regear both the front and rear.

Gotta do em both or a big bang will happen, followed by what sounds like a bucket of bolts going down the highway.

Thanks. What would be the average price I should be looking at with both parts and labor?

12-$1500 seems to be the norm

Would 5.13's be both suitable for highway and off road with 35's? I kind of got the impression reading other posts that different gears benefit off road driving vs highway or the other way around?

Auto. Sounds good. Just want to make sure I have the best of both worlds. Thanks again.
