Default 3.21's and 33's

Anyone with a '12 running 33's or even 35's on 3.21 gears and a 6 speed? Looking for a '12 but VERY slim pickings when it comes to 3.73 gears. Can it really be that bad? For comparison purposes my TJ has 3.07's with a 4.0 and I am running 32's......Its a little sluggish but it has worked for me.

i ran 33s with 3.21s on my 2010 6spd and it was not bad so im sure the 2012 would be just fine.

3.21 gears and 33's will work, doesnt mean its "Right" .....But think of all the strain that you are putting on your drivetrain doing that, Clutch...Trans....Engine. Come off your wallet and Spend the money on Gears so that you can drive it with ease.

Have you priced a gear install yet? You'd be surprised on the cost, its not horrible.

Spending the 50 for the option isn't the problem. Finding one with 3.73s is the issue. Just looking for first hand experience...
