Default Gears how much?

Hey guys I am looking at putting some 37" tires on my Jeep and I have a couple questions. First one is What gearing should I go with? I would like to get some good milage and yet still be able to wheel. Second question is which gears (brand) and how much am I looking at? By the way I have a 2 Door with a 6 speed. Thanks so much guys!

Erik

With 37's you are going to want to get 5.13's. They are only offered by Superior gear from what I know, and are actually in short supply right now, but can still be had with a little effort in tracking them down. I think there are Yukon gears, which are also made by Superior.....

I got a ballpark quote from a local off road shop the other day for 4.88's....parts & labor is gonna run me between $1500-$1800. Kinda steep, but I'd screw it up for sure if I tried it myself so I guess it's worth it.

I bought my gears from a member here; 5.13"s, overhaul kits, lubelockers then paid a local shop $957 to have them installed.

$900 labor front and rear. As said above, you'll need a ring and pinion kit in addition to the gears.
