2012 JK Unlimited Gear Change?
I'm looking at a regear of my jk and would like to run 37's and 4.88. Is anyone running this combo? what feedback does anyone have. Should I go to 5.13?

I've got 4:10's with 37's and it is doable. I dont think you need 5:13's. 4:88's or even 4:56's should be great. Stick with your plan and report back. I'll be watching.

I have 4:88's in my auto and it runs great. If you have a rubicon 5:13's wouldnt be terrible. The problem with 5:13's IMO if you have a Dana 30 is that the pinion of a 5:13 is super small, and the ring gear is thin because the Dana 30 is a smaller housing. Problems can result. I have 35's, 4 inch lift, 4:88's Yukon locker. I get 16mpg in town and 18mpg highway.
