Just 35 MT's put on today with stock gears and a 6 speed. It is a fraction of a bit sluggish but nothing I cant handle. Im extremely happy. I took a hilly way home to see if I would hate it and you know what....its a Jeep not a race car and really if you know how to drive stick then it really doesnt matter. My rpm's were a little higher but nothing that made want my 33's back on. Sure down the road I will regear but for now I have a huge smile on my face.

same boat here... running 3.21s with 32s and a stick.
i HATE the feeling of taking off in a parking lot in 1st and 15mph is as SLOW as i can go (before it gets warmed up and the rpms drop)...
i know a guy that put 5.13s in, and 35s (on a 2dr/stick) and heard all about the HIGH rpms on the highway, i guess thats ok if he wants to run 37s some day.
the 4.56s (if they ever come) would be ok
but for the most part, WHAT gears do you guys think would be best???
4.88 is what i've got planned, and "heard" should be best. BUT what if i want to move up to 37s too...?
sorry for the rant, but i KNOW how you all feel...

i may as well at least be able to run 37's.
4.88 and 35 will be cool... but i figure it should run a set of 37s so i can get that out of my system.

I hope everyone gets to o everything they want to their Jeep. I think t will be great if he gets a Hemi, and I hope he posts pics when he does!!! Good luck!

i have a 6 speed with 3.21s and 35s... around town it does fine. and on the highway it isnt as terrible as i expected. when i regear around june or so i will put 4.56s in there since i never rockcrawl and dont need the super low gearing of 4.88s because i drive a lot of highway.
jsut what i think.

On a side note, I do not understand all of this clutch talk. I can see no correlation between gearing and clutch.
