Default My rubi has 3.73 gears? What!

So I just found out my 13 jku rubicon has 3.73s not 4.10s, surprised is an understatement . My plans were 4 in lift and 35s figuring the 4.10s would fine without regearing but now with higher gears guess I'll have to regear anyways so should I go 4.56 or 4.88 and 37s? Or will the 3.73 be ok with 35 s? Any input thanks

I have the same setup on 35's with a 2.5 lift 4 is way to much for 35's

I've been running 35s on my 13 JKUR auto with 3.73s for a while. It's not ideal but it's doable. I'll switch to 4.56 when I can afford it. It hints a bit but that can be overcome by shifting manually if it really bothers you.

I believe that the 3.73 is the standard for the rubicon and the 4.10 is an option, well thats how it was when I bought my 12'

Mattgt5 how much you trying to get for them depends on price it might worth it to just put them in for now, not sure how much a shop would charge me to do it not sure if I wanna tackle that myself

3.73 is standard on the rubi auto, 4.10 is standard on the rubi manual.
