REMARK

question for you. is your JK an auto or manual. I noticed in your sig block you are running 4.88's so I was just wondering. I got a set of 4.88's for mine just haven't been installed yet due to me being in Iraq. I plan on doing the install when I get home between building the shop and relaxing. I was just wondering what you thought if they were to high or perfect.

I have an Auto. For 33" they are perfect. If you want 35s go 5.13's.

Awesome thats what I was hoping for I just didn't know if they were gonna be to much for the 33's I am running Cepeck Crushers now and am pretty happy with them but the stocker gears just aren't letting me y=use the over drive even when it had stock tires the slightest hill kicked it out Ugh so I am glad I made the choice with the 4.88. can't wait to get them installed and go try them out. in about a month..
