I recently had my JLU sport automatic re-geared so I can run 35s. It's a daily driver, but the shop recommended 4.88 so I can still handle deep mud ruts and steep inclines on trails.
They warned me that the downshift when coming to a stop would be more noticeable, and that it's normal on a JL. The owner said every JL he's re-geared does this. Changing the gear ratio and tire size does nothing to help.
Does anyone have the same issue? I'm trying to get used to it, but it is a little annoying. If I'm not more aggressive when I'm breaking you can feel a slight kick if I ease up at all on the break pedal. They said there's no fix for it yet. Does anyone know if there's a way to correct this?
Another shop said if I went with 4.56, I probably wouldn't have this issue. Are they right?
