I have an '09 Rubicon with auto, 4:10's, and 35" Toyo MT's. I would consider regearing only for the sake of helping my gas mileage. As far as more torque or power or whatever, I could really care less. For a big, heavy offroad/expedition/utility vehicle it does everything I need it to do and it does it well within my expectations.

I used to own a 2010 JKU Sahara with stock gears ( 3.73's) and I was running 37s just fine, now I got a 2010 JKU Rubicon with stock 4.10s and 35s and it's just fine too!

My set up

2011 jk with 5.13's
Bfg 35' s AT

Love it. Gas mileage near stock and driving feels around stock. I highly suggest it.

Had 3.21 and was ok, However it's my DD so I needed better performance. If this is not your DD you should be ok.

I though about it. Instead, I installed a dodge Viper throttle body and a Super Chips flash pad. Gained fuel mileage and stopped it from down shifting at 70mph. I use the 87 octane setting.
