yes, another quick gearing question for my JKU

I have 3.73 in my 2011 auto with a 33" tire. if I goto a 4.10 with 35"s would my acceleration be close to the same? I dont want to go higher than 4.10 as I use 265s for winter. and i would be rev'in the crap out of my engine all winter.

That's a lot of money to pay for a single gear ratio. Stay with 3.73 and just turn OD Off, or take the plunge and gear for the 35's.

Not concerned with how much it will cost. More concerned with drivability.
