I have a 07 X with manual. It came with 4.10 gears vise the stock 3.86. I was running 2800 RPMS at 65. I just lifted my jeep and put 35in BFGOODRICH all terrains. I used the AEV PROCAL module, now I am running 65 at 2300 RPM. Using a little less gas and hills well have to drop to 5th on long hills.

I have 35’s and went with the 4.88’s because I do a lot of highway miles. The most common is the 4.88’s and the 5.13’s both are better than what you have now. You can use 5.38’s just don’t drive 90+ mph on the freeway.
