Default Regearing.

Have a 2013 jeep Sahara. I am running 35x12.50r17. With a 2 1/2 inch skyjacker suspension lift. Should I regear?

Only if you are unhappy with the current gearing. It's not required.

You'll have other issues from the 35s, but tranny and engine are fine.

It would help to know what gearing you have now though?

Everything will wear faster. Breaks ball joints. Unsprung weight (ie:axel. Tires) is something like 4 x harder to move and stop than sprung weight. Bigger tires, more weight

I dont always drive where others cant. but when I do, its in my Jeep. Stay muddy my friends

Your build sheet will say. 3.73 is an option.
