Default 4.88 on 33s or what we call ballon tires

So i installed 4.88 R&P and noticed the really high rpms, and i mean really really high 120 6th gear @3000rpm
But i have to admit its much smoother now and Just i tested it on the highway and its amazing!

Before it could barely reach 180 but now if i have a space i think i can do more than 200 km/h.

Am glad i did this mod

Awsome! I'm looking to get 33's by this summer. I was wondering how my 3.73's was going to act with my 6 speed. Looks like I have to put a little more money in the piggy bank. Did you iinstall yourself or have a shop do the gears?

the really high rpms are coming from the fact that you're running 4.88's and 33's. a 4.88 ratio is made more for 35's.

33's are just fine with the 6spd & 3:73 gears, especially if you add a superchips Flashpaq!

Cool, I have been thinking about changing over to a programmer. I wasted money on a Jet Perf. Stage 1 and the only thing it helped was my throttle delay. Thank god I didn't spend over $175 for it brand new. I'll eBay that sumbich to help off set the cost.
That's a cheaper route to go since I will putting the Jeep in the shop to get my oil burning dealt with.
