Question Should I get new gears?

I have 08 JKU on 35's and 2in body lift since early jan. I'm 16 but I now have enough money if I want to I could change the gears now, but i know if i'm going to keep for more than 2 more years intell I go off to collage. I drive on alot of highway 25 miles just to get to town pick up everday stuff. Does any one have sugestion on what i can do in insted, or should i just do the gear swap.

I start with 35'' and no gear last year, not so bad, i just lost some power... The Superchips Flash Pack help a lot my power and ride. Now i have gear 5.13 you can see the difference.

If you dont have the money for the gear, dont worry, start with FLash Pack, that would help alot

Typo? You don't know if you will keep it? If you are keeping it, re-gear. If you are not keeping it, and are ok with the current lack of power, then don't.

Sorry about typo I will have the money by next week, but i don't if it worth the money if i will only have the jeep for junior and senior year. I drove a stock 2010 model and the power is quite large but it still driveable just floor sometimes. Oh any tell how you payed would like to compare prices with my quote.
