So I have a 2012 JK sport and am having a 5" lift installed along with new front and rear drive shafts. Also having a cold air intake and a throttle body spacer installed. I currently have 34" nitto trail grapplers. I was curious what else I should do next? Should I regear? exhaust? Currently have 3.73 gears and tempted to go with 4.88 but only have 1500 to spend. Thoughts?? Want to increase performance and guy at 4 wheel parts said I should buy this monitor that I can use to do different things with bit no clue

I have 37's and I only have a 4" of lift...
How much off-road/trail driving have you done with it so far?
Why cai and why throttle body spacer???
If I were you I'd spend a bunch of time reading the messages on here, you can get a free education

I personally think that the cai and the throttle body aren't where you should spend your money...
if you are 100% sure that 34" is as big as you will ever go, then regear to 4:10, but you never answered how often you've taken this Jeep off-road onto some sort of terrain where your Jeep got to be trail rated...
in my case I started out totally stock except for adding the EVO skid plate package, I didn't change the stock tires or anything else...I joined a really great local club and I spent time on real trails and I learned what my stock Jeep could do right off of the dealers lot!
Then I got better tires, then a lift etc.

Regear can run $1k - 1.5k on average, depending on your area. How much research have you done on what you're getting installed on your Jeep? 5" is a lot of lift.
