[QUOTE="Craneguy;3258092"]Jpop: I'm running 38" (37.7) on my 2012 jku, auto, would like to know your opinion on my gear choice? My Rubicon is my DD, I live in Oregon so it's a mix of hilly roads, flat ground and altitude of sea level to 4000'. I love wheeling but I would put my self in the moderate range as far as wheeling! Mostly camping, fishing, hunting & trail riding! Not a big fan of carnage, but don't mind watching someone else do it ;-)! Any ways I read a lot of you post and would like your feed back ;-)

I have a 12' rubicon auto. I just re-geared to 5.13's and put 37/13.50 nitto mud grapplers and love it. I'm now getting 17mpg up fron 14mpg with 4.10's w/35's. Now it doesn't down shift as much when going up hill. Living where there are lots of mountains and long hill inclines go 5.13's and don't look back, you won't be disappointed.
Thanks
