im clueless about gears. what is the worst that would happen if i ran 35s with stock gears. its an automatic not sure of the ratio

What exact Wrangler trim do you have and what year is it?

If you had a 6 speed I would say you were fine. With an auto and the lack of power you will have with the bigger tires, you will hurt your trans with all the shifting it will be doing to try and find power. Without a doubt regear.

I'd get the gears before the tires, I believe in function over vanity.
5.13's for 35 and 37's.
Best way to go.

I would def regear with 35s with no less then 5:13s

no way, you dont wanna run 5.13 gears on stock tires

southbaydog

Yeah agreed I really meant that gearing is very important when considering 35's, I wouldn't do one without the other.
I wish I did mine at the same time.

x2, save up and do it together, that is the best way to do it.

I have an automatic with 35s and stock 3.73s, I have to manually downshift to make it up a hill on my way home from work, I will be doing 4.88s very soon!

i am temporarily running stock 3:73's with 35's and it sucks. whats funny is, when i first put the 35's on and drove, i thought that it wasnt that bad. it didnt take long for me to realize that it IS that bad. i was about to get the ball rolling on my 5:13's this week, but i had to put my machine in the shop for all kinds of lights on the dash. it ended up being an "abs module" and im getting it back tomorrow morning. im going to call the shop to order my gears tomorrow as soon as i get back from picking up my jeep.
