I would say this is probably the single most talked about subject and you can find a TON of threads in modified to help you answer your question

 

Well since the powers that be haven't moved this thread, I will contribute.

Read the FAQ in the Modified Forum, it contains all the guidelines.

Search for a thread titled Gears, Gears, Gears and find Planman's post it contains some excellent information on how to make your selection,
plus that thread has many opinions and informal polling information.

The general consensus is 5.13 if you are running an auto, and if you must you can get away with a notch or two less if you have the manual.

 

like spinlock said.

from what i've read its 4.88's manual

or 5.13's on an auto

extreme??

 

x2. When/If I go 35's I will do 5.13 gears.

 

If I had a Rubicon, I would have gone with 5.38's in a heartbeat. But since I made a poor decision and got a Sahara instead, 5.13's will work...

 

I have an auto with 35s and a set of 5.13s sitting under my tool box waiting fo me to put them in.

 

put 'em in already
