I even did the 5:13s with my 6 speed. Love the low gear and just seems more stock like around town. Off road its even better. Need the low range much less and low range is freeking awsome.
Worth it for sure.

I am running 35's with 5.13 Yukon's and I have an auto tranny. Now, I live in Florida which is pretty flat and at 70 MPH, my overdrive doesn't kick in and out.
Frankly I went with Yukons because someone told me they were quiet, and they are, but I have no basis from which to make that claim myself.
I like this choice in tires and gears, but I have no desire to install 37's either.

513 is a GREAT Ratio depending on your tire size
I have a Rubicon (Very Heavy) and I love my 513 with my automatic. No more constant shifting on the highway, it is peppy and off road awesome. I have 32" and will go to 33". If I
went to 35 or 37, I would have chosen 538. I did loose 2-3 MPH, but the upgrade was WORTH
the $1500.00 Whatever gears you decide on PLEASE make sure you follow the break in procedure. There are some great write up on how to do it and you just have to be patient.
Happy Trails.

I have 5.13's which were just installed on the weekend and I ride on 35's. I was amazed at the return of power.
Im upgrading the tires to 37" toyos, the lift to a 4" long arm teraflex and adding king shocks in the next 2 weeks. I am hoping the 5.13's will be good enough but if not, ill go up 2 notches to 5.38
Having said that based on this table (http://www.4lo.com/calc/geartable.htm) I should be good.
