So at the beginning of the year I am getting dynatrac 44 for the front. I was looking at which gears. I am running 35 tires and will be going to 37 next summer. Based on the chart I have seen, 5.38 would be the best but that seems to low. It is a daily driver and I do moderate wheeling on my days off. I think 4.88 would be ideal. Any thoughts?

 

What year jeep and auto or manual?

 

07-11 with auto, 5:38's. I have 5:38's and 37's and it still barely enough for this poor motor.

 

yeah that would change things...

i just went from 33's to 37's and i chose 5:13's because i have a manual 6 speed 2 door with heavy bumpers and a winch

i looked at all the charts and for my setup and it was almost a coin toss between 4:88 and 5:13

i started out with 3:21's which were fine until i went to the 33's and then it just sucked and i didn't want to go through that again, i was nervous about the decision and then tonight i picked up my Jeep and it was fun to drive again!

i love the gearing, my rear view mirror is almost useless now, but i can't wait till this weekend, were going on a medium distance weekend get away and i'm looking forward to taking the Jeep and see how it is on the highway

i'll have to hear how the wife likes getting in/out of it...

If you have any hills around you at all and have a 2007-2011 6 speed I would look at 5.13 min. If you have an auto 5.38 all the way and you still will not be happy. The 07-11 auto set up is really only good up to 35's and 5.38 gears.
