Default I slept with Jessica Simpson

I lied. No, I didn't. But for the same reason that I haven't re-geared my
3:21's after putting on 35"s... If I don't do either, I wont know what I've been missing
That being said, I actually dont notice much of a difference... it was slow before and it's slow now. Even my hot, hot wife (gotta make up for the Jessica Simpson comment) stated that it felt the same.

Damn... and I was going to start a "Countdown until Diagnosis" clock and take bets on what social disease you got.

Way to ruin my fun!

Back to the 3.21s, I am curious if you have an auto or a manual....

LOL... funny, Green. Sorry, I have manual. I can imagine how much better re-gearing would be... I have read the threads, but my point is that I was concerned I would suffer this horrible difference once I threw 35's on... and I didn't.

Go drive on some steep hills, then you will notice! I noticed not regearing with 4.10's. Now I require 4th gear instead of 5th on the steeps.

Teamdher, take note that you live in an area with "Rocky Mountain" in its name. I'm from Jersey... flat and smelly!

I will eventually re-gear i'm sure, when the budget allows. But in the meantime I'm much happier than I thought I would be.

jkfive-0 I have 35's and 3.21's now as well. I'm going to pull a light boat and decided to get 4.10's at least. I do some highway driving and right now 6th is useless. I was on steelie 16's when I bought it so it did have some pep over the 17" alloys most people are running. the 35's are a bit anemic. 4.10's I'm thinking will get me roughly back to where stock was, which I'm perfectly fine with. My buggie is more of a beach runner then a rock crawler.

that 6 speed must be much more flexible than the auto. I had the factory 4.10s for the first week I had my 35s and OD was useless, and the slowest I could move in a parking lot without brakes was 15mph. The 5.13s are so great! I would be scared that my clutch would burn if I had 3.21s. Can you use 5th and 6th gears? I think if I was you, I would want at least 4.88s, but my Jeep is a DD and I like the extra oomph when I scoot around town.

I have to agree with not much difference.
