Ok... I've read all the "gears" related topics/charts; I'm ready to do gears, sleeves and sorts. I'm looking for any/all 4:88s drivers and whether or not you would do it different ( i.e. 5:13s)... or happy with your 4:88s... I'm 95% local roads, minimal highways low mileage 2010 vehicle.

It needs gears but don't want to over gear... Its already under geared w/3:73s but need/appreciate more feedback before my final decision.

Thanks and have a great holiday!

All I can add is when I was looking to regear my JKU auto...... Reading so many threads on this and looking at the chart etc the concensus out here was to get 5.13's over 4.88 so I did and love my 5.13's
Good luck

I get my 5.13s installed next week and I'll report out once they are in. I read a lot of posts and concluded that it was the way to go.

I guess no one has 4:88s.... Or those that do don't want to admitted it.

I'm interested in this as well. from my research i'm leaning towards 5.13s. it seems border line and I can see myself wanting 37s some day, so this will give me the option. I'll wait to see what feedback you get.
