I forgot too mention I also have the added weight of winch, aftermarket bumpers (front/rear), and rock rails....basically my Jeep is a pig and needs gears..

 

dont mean to hijack, but my ? is kinda on point with this.

The dealer emailed me with all my options on my jeep when it was first bought.

DMFP 4.10 Rear Axle Ratio

does this mean I have 4.10 gears? If not, where would I find that?

 

Yeah I will get the 35's and see what it is really like for myself and my driving situations around here. Then I will make a decision on the next step. I am most likely going to get the 315 Duratracs since I don’t need a hardcore MT and that tire has great reviews.

 

If you are on the fence between 33s and 35s, and gears are the only thing thats stopping you...get the 35's and drive it...then regear when you have the funds...Im going 5.13's by summer..

 

WoW I dont know maybe I have a heavy foot BUT Im getting 13.4 MPG`s with the stock 3:73`s and running 33x12.50`s

 

I have 3.73's and 35's. I average between 14-15 in town, and 16-17 on the highway. Obviously, OD is off most of the time. I will regear to 5.13's, just not tomorrow.

 

I just went to 35's with my 3.73 on a 6 spd manual. I get around 17-18 MPG on highway and 15-16MPG in town. From power prespective it is comfortable and i don't see a need to upgrade just yet. I do plan on adding superchips to gain some of the power lost but all in all i'm very happy with the setup so far.

 

Good to know!!! as I am thinking of upgrading to 35's soon!

 

What about 35s on a rear with 4.10?

 

You should have no real issues...it's not desirable but better than 3:21's or 3:73.
