Default Rubi, 4.10 Gears, 33's, 35's, and Lift

I'm about to get a 2013 White Rubicon Unlimited 6 Speed. I'm wondering how the 4.10 gears work on the factory 32's, 33's, and 35's? Also wondering who makes a good lift to improve ride quality and off road ability? Or a good coil spacer lift? What is a recommended lift size for 35's?

Thanks Guys

The FAQ's stickied right at the top of this modified area are a good place to start. They include lift height/tire size suggestions, as well as rpm charts designed specifically for JKs.

410's with the 3.6 motor will work great for the 35's. welcome to the forum.

The new gear charts for the 2012+ wrangler are garbage.

They are literally 300-450 RPMs off. Most 35" tires on a 2012 plus will run almost dead on 2500RPMs at 70mph.

Perfect gear for 35s. I'm re gearing my Sahara and I'm going with 4.10s from 3.21s. Hard to find and expensive for a front D30, but the right choice for mixed hwy and offroad.

Might just want to look for a Rubi front axle. Cost might not be a whole lot different than regearing.

Anyone have a good lift suggestion for me? Probably a 2.5 or 3 inch lift. Want to upgrade the on road ride if possible, but also off road ability. It will probably see the trails 2-3 times a month.

Alright here comes all the canned answers...to start, what's your budget? Like everyone else who asks this question, you will get 100s of different opinions. Look into TeraFlex, Rock Krawler, AEV, Rancho just to name a few. This question gets asked weekly, there's a ton of info on the site. Spend some time searching and looking around the site.
