Rubicons can run 35's ok

 

I have 4.10's and 35's. I'm happy with that set up. underpowered on steep hill grades but other than that its fine.

 

Some people want to regear with stock tires.

 

True, it's highly subjective, and the terrain you drive will be a factor as well (mostly flat, hilly, etc.). I find my 4.10's and stock 32's to be adequate, probably could deal with 33's. I don't think I could take much more than that though.

 

So I guess I'll be driving a REAL PIG with 35's on a stock "X", huh?

Current performance really does not bother me as this is not my DD and I accept it for what it is.

However, has anyone driven thier's stock for awhile before regearing with this type of setup? How bad is 35's going to be with stock gears?? I'm pretty sure that sometime further down the line I will change them out but the pockets will need a little time to recover!

 

Yes, especially if you have an '08 which will have 3.73 gears at best.

 

Yes, that is what I have stock

 

i am running 33's with 3.21's and a six speed. i don't really care for the setup. with say 4.10's, i would be happy. but on a hill climb or on the highway all i do is keep dropping gears. i am thinking of changing to 4.88's and maybe going to 35's though.
