If so is it livable or is it begging for a regear for a daily driver?

***Also I have an Auto***

I have a 14 with 4.10's and toyo 34's and it is good I think with 35's and 3.73's might be ok depending on terrain and what kind of driving you do. I know for around town and on the hiway my power band is where I like it ie in the sweet zone.

The 3.6 is very forgiving....you'll be able to live with it. Just keep a regear in the back of your mind come birthday or holidays

I would get a programmer before a regear.. I ran 35's on a 2010 JKU with heavy 3/16 bumpers and the Super chips 87 tune worked wonders running 3.73 gears just saying

Well it's not a matter of affording a regear right now, but if most think I'll want a regear at some point, why not just regear for 37's and get it over with?

I have a '12 JKU, 6 spd and 35's General Grabbers running 3.73. It runs great, drive thru plenty of hills and valleys at a steady 75 mph. I know you asked about specific tires.

Same here, 35 toyo mt on 2013 auto with 3.73. Runs great for my tastes, been running this setup since 2 weeks after I bought it a year ago. If and when I go to 37s I will regear
