You guys have all been very helpful to me as well. I have nearly the same ride, 2013 Sahara Unlimited with 3.73 gears. I have been contemplating 4.56 because I wasn't sure if I wanted to step all the way up to 4.88s. I may reconsider now. Currently I run 33's but my next purchase will either be 315 or a full 35. I don't plan on going bigger because this is also my DD that I try to take out on the trails/desert/whatever a couple times a month.

Good!

It's been helpful for me as well. Right now I am running a 3.5" lift with 20" wheels on 35's. I was told I have 3.21's so unless you upgraded to 3.73's I think they came with 3.21's, unless I am wrong and in fact running 3.73's? I stated before, right now with current set up I can cruise at 60mph, in 6th around 2k rpms.

sahara never comes with 3.21, you aready on 3.73,
better option is 4.56 for power and gas saving.
4.88 more gas and power.

Thanks!

I heard a couple different things, so wasn't sure which one I was rocking in the Jeep.

Thank you for the correction and input!
