Default gears?

so i guess i should stay with a 33x12.5 if i am going to stay with the 4.10...maybe later new gears for the 35's.... don't want to mess it up right out of the box... what gears sould i look into in the future before putting on 35's... i was hoping the 4.10 would be ok but from what i have been reading i was def. wrong thanks guys, just want it to be right!

For 35s, I think 4.56 or 4.88 will do the trick....

4.56 gears should get the same response as 4.10s w/ 33s, but the power band might be a touch better w/ 4.88s.

If you leave 4.10s in w/ 35s, it most likely will perform like 3.73s w/ 33s (sluggish at slightest incline, no passing power, etc.)

We are constantly talking with alloy usa and Superior and will let everybody know when they become available.

I am not sure that the old TJ gearing scenarios will work the same with the JK. you know the old 35's and 4.88's we will have to wait and see.

the right gearing works miracles not only for jeeps going up in tire sizes for also for muscle cars etc. I think you would notice quite a big differance and driving a JK with 35's and 4.10's and 35's and 4.88's. You might be able to get by but I think the new gearing would be worth every penny. That being said... thats my 2 cents... ba da ching!
