4.88 disapointment
4.88 or 5.13? Seems to be like Ford vs Chevy.
My question, is there anyone out there who went with 4.88 gearing w/ auto trans 35"that has been disapointed?
From everything I have read, it seems unless your hardcore off roader or live in a mountaineus area or don't do much highway communting 5.13 is the way.

If I had to choose between those gear ratios ( I got 5.38's since I have a D44), I'd get 5.13's. More juice and acceleration but it really depends on where you live, how you drive and how large of a tire you want to go with.

I've been in the spot for several months after lift, 35s and much more... I have a 2010 Auto 4 door and have suffered way to long under geared and was on the fence about 4:88s and 5:13s. I had an opportunity to drive both before making my decision and it was a no brainer to go 5:13s - got it back yesterday and all I can say is "WOW" best mod ever.
Do it and really enjoy you JK....
