It’s my only vehicle but I was in a WFH position even before COVID so I did not have a commute. On the highway, I like to drive anywhere between 70 to 80 MPH and the delta in RPMs between the 4.88s and 5.13s was ~250. When I had a 2014 JKU 6-speed with 37s and a 4.56 gear ratio, that was a pig to get rolling (and I had a supercharger on it).DOnt you think 5.13's are a little steep? Is this your daily driver?
In talking with a lot of experienced Jeepers and a few shops, most recommended 5.13s to account for the heavier mass (once you factor in an aftermarket bumper which is eventually down the road). While 5.13s may not match exact mathematics of preserving the stock ratio, I hope to enjoy the acceleration benefits. Time will tell if I regret it or not ...
