Default Re Gearing questions
Hey Guys, I recently added some bigger tires and lost a lot of power/mpg... I know that re gearing can kinda help with these issues, but I was going to see what some of you think. I don't plan on going any bigger with tires lift etc... I have 295/70/17s on there and a teraflex leveling kit, auto tranny 2010 sahara. Ive looked at the re gearing chart and it looks like I should go to 4.88. I just wanted to see if any of you have this, or have any opinions that might help... postives/negatives etc... Also what brand of gears should I get?

If it's a 35" tire I think you'd have more guys saying go 5.13 that's what I did.

I'm running a Nitto Trail Grappler 295/70/17 with an auto, and I'm very happy with my 5.13's.
