I have a 2014 Sahara (3.73) running 35s and I'm debating which to do first. Re gear to 4.56 or upgrade my transfer case to the 4:1 rock-trac. Don't want to spend the $ to do both right now. ANY THOUGHT? ADVICE?

 

I would think it would depend the type of off roading you plan on doing.

Do you have an auto or manual ?

 

Auto transmission

 

Nothing crazy, just some simple trails but want to be able to get up the hill (mountain) if I need to.

I could always use more, but I'm overall satisfied with my on road power/performance

 

Gears will be used 100% of the time. The t-case, how often? 5%? 2%?

 

If you are happy with on road performance, I would say to the T case. I have done both, and the T case is a great upgrade.

 

I would do the gears. You'll get better performance for the 95% of your driving. Plus they will help a bit Offroad also not quite as much as the t case but mildly in the same way. This is a no brainer!

 

I would so the T-Case. Your gear change isn't enough to make a huge difference on the road, but the T-case will make a HUGE difference on the trail.

 

Thanks for all the advice. I think I'm going with the T-case now, gears later. I understand it's only for about 5% of the time, but the more I read about the big difference it makes, I think that's most urgent and most important to me. Thanks again for the fast replies!!
