My JLUR with the 2.0/8-speed combo barely notices the 38's. With zero intention of towing anything, swapping out the factory 4.10's isn't even a blip on the radar. She still jumps off the light, breaking tires if I get a bit too saucy, and runs up to speed without having to scream the motor much past 4k. In my opinion, adding some pep that I don't seem to be missing, isn't worth the loss of mesh real estate in the ring and pinion that comes with shorter gears.That's another thing the Bronco peeps don't understand. They think the 4.7 gear ratio is superior, which it is not because the transmissions and transfer cases are completely different.
The Bronco with 4.7 is not a good thing. To match the Jeep they would need much deeper gears than what is available when you start getting into the big boy tires sizes.
