I went 5.13 because I knew I'd be doing 37's. I love it with 35's but it will still be good for 37's I think

Thanks for all the input. Keep em coming. Its not a designated driver. It runs good now just don't want to turn it into a turd. It is a jeep I don't expect it to burn the tires.

Also, I see you have a Flashpaq and with the transmission package option, you should be able to dial things in a bit better. Driving down 68/40 can be a beautiful leisurely drive but it will sniff out in a heartbeat if you don't have enough gear.

I haven't messed with any of the transmission settings with the Flashpaq. Do you have any suggestions on settings, or is it something I just have to experiment with?

Unfortunately I don't as my JK is an automatic. I have the package on Dodge Ram and it's been great. I can get it to immediately kick down when I need the extra power and up shift at points where the engine doesn't lug when it hits the higher gear. Plenty of people sharing shift schedules on that platform, but not here where in my opinion it's a lot more necessary with an under powered vehicle.
