4:88 would put you close to stock. If you spend a majority of your time off road then you might want to go with the 4:88 they will be a little stronger and last longer depending on how hard you push your drivetrain. If you spend a majority of your time on road 5:13s would be a good choice. Also if you haul a trailer or boat that also makes a diffrence.

75 mph, the RPM's are just shy of 3,000. Which is really the jeeps sweet spot for being able to pull up hill without downshifting in 6th gear.
It has way more balls than needed for hill climbs.. The crawl ratio is crazy low with this set up.

Based on your Off/On ratio I'd say do the gears, as a few have stated 4:88s if you plan on sticking with 35s and 5:13's or whatever if you plan on doing 37s down the road. I've yet to do gears in my RUBI, 6spd w/35s and I wheel about 50/50 right now, never have any problems crawling inclines, rock crawling, hill climbing, etc, with the 4:10s and I use 6th gear on the hwy just fine and on most overpasses, definitely have to use 5th on bridges.

With RubyDoo having 5:13's and 35s, She does 72 MPH @ 3000 rpm. When I did the final drive ratio in 4Lo 1st gear it came out to be 93:1 which is NICE and low for crawling. She has plenty of hill pull even with a light trailer. Just remember She also weights 5300- 5400 Lbs.
When in first gear sitting at a light, i swear i could wheelie her if her front end was empty.

Im thinking about 5.13 gears now, guess i'll have to decide on which gears i want. I bought this to be just an offroad rig, so maybe the 5.13's will be the way to go?
