I have 35s on a Sahara and I don’t have any issues. Getting 16.8 mpg. I will be re gearing when I go to 37s though.This thread just convinces me that going to 35's with a manual transmission is a bad idea. Maybe if it's just an around town vehicle, but definitely not for long trips.
Anyone with MT Sport or Sahara getting good results with 35's and no re-gear?
you can tell the computer the new gear size with a tazer/programmerAfter you re-gear do you need to do anything to the computer?
I have a sport M/T trac loc anti spin rear differential with lift kit, 35', rock sliders, after market bumper which make the jeep heavier. Went offroading and couldn't get up to steep hills without momentum. 6th gear is pretty much useless, unless I go downhill with the wind in my back.This thread just convinces me that going to 35's with a manual transmission is a bad idea.

I have a Sport S with 35" tires, MT. I just regeared to 4.56. Night and day difference. Much better power all around.
Before the regear, I had no power to speak of below 2K RPM.
Hey guys same here with a 2dr. 3.6 Manual trans. And LSD.I have a sport M/T trac loc anti spin rear differential with lift kit, 35', rock sliders, after market bumper which make the jeep heavier.

My local shop, Mule Outfitters in Issaqauh, WA installed a Nitro Gear package on mine. The product name was https://www.nitro-gear.com/Jeep-Wrangler-JL-Nitro-Gear-Package-p/gpjl-select-m220.htmHey guys same here with a 2dr. 3.6 Manual trans. And LSD.
Please help me out, what gear sets did you guys go with. And what all extras did you get with them (bearings and shim kits?)
Loving the look and feel of mine around town but it's unbearable on the hwy. And I'll never make this 20 hour trip back to Moab like this. :/
Same here. I dont have interest in rock crawling. I enjoy hiking and some trail heads need to be access going through a forest service road.My local shop, Mule Outfitters in Issaqauh, WA installed a Nitro Gear package on mine. The product name was https://www.nitro-gear.com/Jeep-Wrangler-JL-Nitro-Gear-Package-p/gpjl-select-m220.htm
My application is forest service roads and daily driving. I don't plan to do any rock crawling or extreme stuff. Possibly the WABDR is the extent of it.
I can't answer what kind of bearing and/or shim kits were installed if any, as I didn't ask.Hey guys same here with a 2dr. 3.6 Manual trans. And LSD.

How did the regear go? Do we need it for 33's on sport stock 8 speed auto?I’m regearing to 4.56’s in a month or so. I have 33”s now but plan on 35s next (maybe January at the rate I drive the JL). I’ll be happy to post my results once I’ve done it.
i have the 6 speed manual, so I can’t comment on the 8speed.How did the regear go? Do we need it for 33's on sport stock 8 speed auto?
