In my experience stock works great up to a 35” but when we jumped to 37” there is a very noticeable loss In power, not as quick from a stop and usually never see above 6th gear. We are going to put in 4.88’s, it should improve power performance and still be decent on gas. Our Jeep is still and will likely remain a daily driver. If undecided you should take a few things into consideration like vehicle weight. If you add some solid bumpers and rock rail, or cargo management systems and pack your Jeep for the trail. You may want to go 5.13. We don’t do any overland stuff at the moment most of our off-road adventures are one or two day trips. But you definitely got me thinking. I haven’t pulled the trigger on buying them until I found a shop but they are in my shopping cart.Out of curiosity, what gears are you thinking? I’m currently on 35s, but will be going to 37s soon. I’m planning to try it for a while with the stock 4.10s. What I’ve read on hear is 5.13 is a sweet spot, but 4.88s should also be good.
Good luck!
Awesome! Thanks for the response. I may end up with a small teardrop trailer or something, so I’ll probably go 5.13s if/when I get it done.In my experience stock works great up to a 35” but when we jumped to 37” there is a very noticeable loss In power, not as quick from a stop and usually never see above 6th gear.

If you don’t mind, post up here when you’re done. It would give me some knowledge about the process and cost.
thanks, rc
They did my gears. Everything seems to be perfect.curious what you had them do. I’m thinking of having kilter do my gears.
