Any suggestions on re-gearing and pulling a small trailer? Would it be beneficial to gear lower to accommodate the extra load? For example, if I was planning on going to 4.88's and then purchased a 2500# trailer, would 5.13 be a better decision? Or should I not base my decision off of the trailer since the jeep is my daily driver?
Concerns:
1) Gearing to 4.88 and still not able to use 7th and 8th on highway when pulling trailer.
2) Gearing to 5.13 and running above 2500 rpms on the daily or even higher rpms on road trips.
What is a comfortable highway RPM? What does 37's and 5.13's run for rpms doing 80 mph?
