Thanks!

When doing 70 mph without procal I was pushing 3,000 rpms... after procal I was back down to the 2,000 range, very close to stock range.

I've been running 33's with an AT and 3.73's in our JKU since we purchased it last summer. Performance is ok but not great. Whenever I tow my 6x10 utility trailor and dirt bikes I turn my overdrive off.

For clarification, this is not by any means a shot at you WOL. Recently, I was pounded mercilessly on here on a gear and tire thread suggesting some of the advice given on here regarding gearing was not the best. I was saying that regaring too low can be harmful and presented supporting evidence which was ignored. It was even suggested that with 33s you had to go to 5.13s. I just think it's funny that those so called "experts" are mysteriously absent on this thread after you posted this.
So please do not take this as a shot at you or this site.
Back on topic, as previously mentioned, you will be fine with that. You may want a little more get up n go though with the help of a tuner or some other type of power adder.

That is what was suggested from one of the forum members who is very highly respected here but certainly doesn't like it when others don't conform to his line of thinking. And then there are the self proclaimed experts who claim to have more knowledge about our Jeeps than those in the auto industry who actually designed and built them.
