Default 37s and 4.10s 6 speed pentastar

Hey everyone, just curious as to who is running 37s with 4.10s with a 6 speed pentastar. I am re gearing in a couple months just curious as to people's experiences. I bought rims a week ago and tires the next day. Now they are sitting in my buddies shop and I can't wait any longer lol

I have 36 inch Swampers on mine. They measure a true 36, as big as most 37s. It works pretty good but it could stand a little more gear. 4.56 would be perfect.

I'm running 37s on a light 2 door 2013 JK with a 6 speed. I have 4.88 gears. I would be ok with 4.56, but 4.88 is more ideal (if you actually like using the 6th gear). 4.10 would suck. If you are regearing, there is no logical reason to go to 4.10. It costs more, performs worse, and likely yields worse MPG.

I have 4.10s just saving up a couple extra bucks for gears. Was going to go with 4,88s

I was running 37's on 12' auto with 3:21's and wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Regeared to 4:88s and it is much better. I would throw those tires on.

2012 manual running 37 mtrs here. Used to have 410s they were tolerable around town but no acceleration on the highway. To use 6th gear you had to be going 65+. I have since regeared to 488s and it's perfect. Plenty of acceleration on the highway cruising at 55 in 6th gear at 2000rpms. At 70 I'm a tad over 2500 Rpms. Gas mileage is about the same

I finally installed them tonight. I was pretty surprised at how well the jeep handled them with the 4.10s. I definitely am going to regear but am in no rush. It works great for me

Thanks! I am beyond happy with it. Just waiting on my new ace bumper for the rear so I can mount the spare. I have my 33s on there and its just not a good look lol. I have always liked the colour but now that my rims are on there it really set it off.
