Guys - I have looked through some extensive posts on gearing for wheeling and rock crawling and I have made a decision on gears. Wanted some feedback on if this is a good choice.

I have a 2008 4 door Sahara, 4" lift and 35" tires. I dont wheel, just trails, sand, and fun flat stuff! its Florida, what can I say. I have been riding around with the stock 3.73's for 2 years and want to get better gas mileage and some power back to my sled.

I will prob go to 37" tires for looks after my 35's are spent...

My question is I dont rock crawl or wheel aggressively, so 5.13's may be overkill?? it is my daily driver and I was thinking 4.88's would fit much better for daily use..

Any ideas, comments, suggestions from anyone running this setup?

Thanks

 

Standard or automatic?

 

Sorry

6 speed

 

4.88". Good mix of power and cruising, both for 35" and 37".
