Default who is running this setup?

JKUR with 3.8l engine, six speed trans., 5.13 gears, with 35 inch tires? do you like it? does it help with the power? The gear chart says 360 rpm more at 70 mph... ? I already have f&r steel bumpers, a winch, 4 skid plates on the bottom side, and rock rails. I plan on doing the AEV 3.5 lift, with AEV wheels and toyo 35x12.5x17 m/t. I was thinking of 4.88's but because of all the extra weight, and the posibility of going to 37's in the future 5.13's might be better. thoughts?????

I'm running that with the auto trans and its perfect. From my understanding its a.bit too much for the manual trans and 35's. With 37's though it might be perfect. Have you spoken to any gear shops that do alot of JK's? They could probably be helpful. Good luck.

Too much for 35's Much better suited for 37" tires. If not on the highway and just trails and around town 5.13 would be fine.
