Default Gear Poll - 2012-2013

We are interested to hear from 2012 and 2013 owners on what gear ratio they are running with 35" tires with a auto transmission.

This should be a heated read. I'll go ahead and post my thoughts. 4.10 is PLENTY on 35s with the new auto. I am very satisfied with the 4.10 and my 37s. I also live where it is very flat.

Started with a 2012 Sahara unlimited auto running 3.21s. Went to 33 Duratracs and then 35 KM2s and re geared to Dana 4.10s.

It was expensive but worth it. I live in FL ( extremely flat and sea level )

Can't get 4.10 on a non rubicon. Besides, there is 3.21, 3.73 and 4.10.

As another reply to northridge...my buddy runs a 2012 with a 6 speed and 4.88s and 35 KM2s. He likes it but a couple of our club think its a little over geared.

I live in North Ga. Lots of hills and long pulls. I have 4:10 and 35" MTR's. I'm happy with it.
