Any one have 4.88 gears on a 2 door auto jk with 35s? If so, are you happy with them?

I have a four door but most of what I read recommends 5.13s for 35s. I can't wait to regear. I dread getting on the freeway!

I have 4:88's with 33.8" A/T Tires. If I were to do it again, I'd go with 5:13's. Keep in mind the Weight/Rolling Mass of the Tire & Wheel como. Many 35's are extremely heavy, therfore requiring more Power/Gear to maintain speed without all the downshifting.

i had BFG ATs35 (4.88 gears/auto tran) on for two days and just couldn't deal with the lost in power plus gas mileage from 17 to 13 with 35 so wenT 33.

Thanks for the replies. The actual size of my tires is 34.4 they are duratracs. I was planning on 5.13 but was wondering if it would help my gas mileage if I went 4.88. Although I am more concerned about performance over gas mileage.

Performance over mileage leads to 5.13's.

I run 5.13's with 38" tires.

My friend just went with 5.13's and 35's with an auto. It feels peppy and he's quite happy.

BTW, I get 14.8 MPG on the highway with my set up. This is way better than what my TJ got in 37's...

I have a rubicon. 2 door. 35's Manual trans with stock 4.10. On the highway my 6th gear is almost useless unless your going down hill. Would u recommend 4.88 or 5.13. I do some highway traveling and will pull a trailer time to time.

Any opinions? Thanks.
