I have the 4.10 gears on 35's.. I think most people will tell you that you should run at least 4.10 or you're going to have no power, and your gears will eventually break.

well if your jk is a daily driver i would definitely regear before your tires. if you did the tires then wait a while for the gears later your mpg would be suffering. oh and about breaking your gear( im not saying to do it but) i have stock gears 3.75 on my two door x with 37s. i dont use it as my daily driver but i do wheel lightly john bull, dishpan/deep creek, sidewinder, holcomb, bronco peak I KNOW IM PLAYING WITH FIRE BUT the only thing i have broken what the u joints.

Thanks everyone, I think I'm going to do gear first than do the wheel and tire. Do anyone know where is "fact thread" and "every newbie needs to know" in the forum, cause I could find it. Thanks

Call the dealer and give them vin # to find out gear ratio. If it's and auto 4.10 will be ok for awhile, anything less will be miserable to drive especially on interstate
