After a weekend at the beach, driving in 4wd, I'm still pretty happy with these gears. I can't imagine gearing above 4.56 if I wasn't sticking with 35's or 36's. Only if I was going to 37's would I consider 4.88's. But again, that's me in flat delaware.

Yes, that wasn't quite right, it's more like 2800, and 3000 around 75. I only drove it once when I posted that.

I have bfg AT's installed, they measure about 34.5". I took a long trip out to West Virginia this weekend and I'm pretty happy with the set up. 70 or 75mph is about all the fast I want to go now, it just sucks too much gas and the RPMS go too high above that. at 70 I am at about 2600-2700 RPMs. I don't have my speedo fixed yet so using gps. On Route 70 and 68 I didn't have to downshift much except for the big hills like Sidling Hill Pass and similar sized mountains. I actually was in 4th a few times. But don't get me wrong, it's where I want to be for my normal driving.
If anyone has any advice on what programmer to get, I'd appreciate it. I am reading some people are amazed at Superchips and some think it does nothing. Maybe I"ll just go with a simple Procal.

What year Wrangler? Auto or manual? Looks like I'll just get the 33s after my lift, till I switch to 4.56 gearing. Also any idea what your tires weigh? Exactly what size are they?

So I have 3.21 gearing. I plan on doing a regear one day. What does it mean that I need a new carrier? Will I need a complete front axle? Or just different components

Has anyone seen a regearing chart for the Pentastar? does it make a difference? I presently have a sahara running on 18" wheels with 32" tires and 3.21's. I just added the 2.5" AEV lift and have a set of MT Classic Lock 17's on backorder. I will be putting 35" KM2's on them once they are in. I was talked into putting 4.88's, which i have at home in a box, but am wondering if i should swap them for 4.56's or 4.11's. I wheel about every other weekend, but would go every weekend if i could get some interest. I am in Florida so hills are 3-4 stories max.

I have a similar issue. Every one I talk to at shops say go with 4.88 but everything im researching says go 4.56. I am probably go with 4.56 on my 2012 2dr sport Auto with 35 Toyos. Seems like the logical choice for SoCal. Lots of highway driving everywhere.

Personally i love my 4.10's with 35's. I had the 3.21 with 35's for around a year, and it was terrible.. I did a front and rear rubi axle swap and wouldnt want any lower gearing.. I think 4.88 would be suitable for 37's in my opinion.. However i do wish i had the 4:1 transfer case for those crawls..
