I have an '07 3.21 and 3.6L manual and mine struggles with my stock setup here in hilly CT!

I was looking to go to 33s instead of 35s to sve gas for all my highway driving on my 45 minute commute!

But if I I have to regear might as well regear for the 35s... Right?

Yes you should go with the 5:13 and don't look back. I've been running that ratio for 2 years. I have no problem running 75- 85 mph on the highway. Plus if you ever pull a small trailer you can.

Do the 5:13 help with acceleration? What size tires are you using and do you have a 4 door or 2 door? Thank you everyone for the feed back

Yes. Lower gears will give much better acceleration, and put the engine in its power band faster

Just to clarify the only thing I need to regear is the front a rear axle correct? There isnt any other parts of the truck that need to be regeared right? Thanks everyone for the help!

For what we are talking about, yes only the front and rear axles need to be regeared. The other gearing is in the transfer case and that is a whole different conversation.

Wow!

I have a 2012 with 3.21s and automatic.

At 75 I am at 2100 RPMs

I am running 33s now. Moving to 35s next. I am going to go with 4.56s. The new engine and trams are a whole different beast when it comes to re-gearing. Unreal.

Do I need to regear the transfer case or is it unnecessary for what I am using my jeep for?
