Default 33's?

M looking at running 33's on my jeep once I get it lifted. I'm not looking to do a lot of crawling yet, when I've 180k on it I'll do the mods for that then. Right now I'm looking to do an expedition build and I'm going with 33's. Now that being said, would I need to do a regear for those size tires? Right now I'm running on the stock 4.10's.

Nope, you're golden with 4.10's and 33's

Default I agree

I also think you are good.

I run 33s and have 3:73 gears. I have been thinking of regearing to 4:10s.

Yea I just looked at my owners manual but all it had were the ratios for the 3.8L and I have a '12. I'll be doing a little bit of towing but not a lot and definitely nothing heavy when I'm finished.

You could easily run 35s or even maybe 37s with the 3.6! I have heavy 33s and 3.21s and can burn them off all day.

Anyone interested in my 4.10s if I decided to re gear?

I run 33s on the street no problem. Even my 35s are ok with 4.10s, but I may re gear and run 35s full time.

That's about what I'm looking for, I'm going with a 2" lift for mine, and one day I'll improve on it when it's fully paid for and across the 100k plateau.
