What is that performance like with stock running gear? I have sorted through a ton of threads and still don't quite have the answer. This is not a DD...more of a weekend vehicle. Know I need a pro-cal, since there are no performance options.

2011 JKU Sahara Auto.

I've got a 2010 w/ auto and 35's. Stock performance was ok but with a lot of mountains here it just wasn't cutting it. In a relatively flat area you'd be fine. Changed to 5.13's and tons better.

2011 JKU on 35" BFGs for over a year on stock 4.10s. It's no race car but bearable. I drove from Myrtle Beach, SC to KY without much problem. If you're in steep hills you won't spend much time in OD. It's completely relative to the driver and their habits. That's why you can't find a straight answer. I will regear when I go to 37".

I'm running 3.73s on a 2011 sport w/ 35s. It occasionally searches but its tolerable.

I have the factory 4.10s and 37's. It sucks but it isn't impossible to drive. Going through the mountain passes here is not very fun but just driving around town and occasionally hwy it isn't that bad to be honest. I'm going to switch to 5.13's but 4.10's are not as bad as I thought they would be.

2010 JKUR w/35's and 4.10. I'm in flat terrain and I've had no problems at all. The terrain you're driving will make the difference.
