+1 on 4.88. I am running true 35" tires on 2013 2dr and have not added bumper, skid protection weight yet. I also really like the option to go to 37". I run right at 3k at 75 mph and 3.2k at 80 mph, so a little extra weight should be okay. Around town, it is perfect. This is my daily driver.

4.56 for 35's (34.4 duratracs)
On my 2012 HEAVY JKUR 6 speed
On the highway I'm getting terrible mileage due to higher rpm's but LOVING the ratio regardless. I live in Colorado and tow 8% of my mileage.
I think 4.88 would be ideal for 37's and 5.13 would be great for a dedicated wheeler. Sooo glad I didn't go 4.88- the top speed would be awful. At 80 I'm already at 3,000K
Just my .02

okay so I know this had been beating to death probably but I'd like to hear some other input on this, i have a 2013 JKU sport AUTO with 3.73's right now I'm running a 2.5 TF coil lift with some MTZ 33's. now i plan on going up to 35's here shortly just don't know which gear set to go with and the reason I'm asking is cause i can get a killer deal on a set of 5.13 but is it gonna be too much for my DD and bad on the highway? i go wheeling a good bit but just not sure i wanna go with such an aggressive gear since its more of a DD than a trail rig, thats why i also ask 4.88's or 4.56's?
