4.10 with 37's
i am just wondering if it is possible to run 37's with 4.10 in a automatic. i don't really have the money for regearing and tires right now but have a pretty good deal on tires right now so i would like to jumo on it. obviously this is not gonna be permanent. i see guys on here running 3.73 with 35's just curious if any had driven 37's on 4.10 and what was it like? remember i have an auto also a unlimited rubicon. thanks for all the help.

if you drive a lot of highway i would say no. i have an auto with 35's and 4.10's and i have no power above 60. it's very hard on inclines as well. around the city i can't really tell the difference. 37's are also a big investment as a lot of other money will go into beefing up your axles and getting enough room in the wheel wells.

I think what they mean is to fit 37's you need like a 4" lift. If you have a 4" lift you probably will need driveshafts, control arms etc. You can fit 35's with a cheap 2.5" lift and not much else but 37's are much tougher unless you are really creative.

I have 37's on my 4dr Rubi with 410's and an auto. All I have to say is get the Superchip flashpak!! Before, it was barely tolerable. Like you tho, I don't ahve 1500+ for a gear swap, but bought the Flashpak off Northridge for 308 shipped.
Now, I have no desire, whatsoever, to get gears. I have plenty of power running around town, and have 0 problem sticking 75 on the interstate. I live in WV too, so it's not exactly flat around here, and the hills are no problem now.
The only downfall would be the mpg. Before the tuner, I was only getting about 11.8 mpg on average manually calculated. Now, with the 93 tune, I have average about 14.5 mpg with mostly city driving, about 80/20. (Getting 13.7 on the 87 tune)
To answer your question, yes it can be done. Spend the 300 on the Superchip, get a K%N drop in filter for 50 bucks and call it a day!!

so by the sound of it as a temporary thing it is to be driveable for a while i have the superchip programer already a k&n filter plus a snorkel. i think before i throw them on though i have to replace some stuff in the steering. like wheel bearings. i have 60,000 miles on it and have not replaced any of that yet.
