What gear with 35's auto 4 drs. 5:13 or 4:88?

4.88's
Just put my gears in 2 weeks ago, went from 3.73 , 35's and auto to the 4.88's....I'm in Florida and they are working great. I drive mostly on the highway and can run 70-85 with no problem. My tires are actually closer to 34" so I don't know if that makes up the difference in how the 4.88's perform. At 70 I am turning 2350 rpms and at 80 turning 2700 rpms. I like the 4.88's but as a rule I would say the overwhelming majority of Jeepers like the 5.13's for the autos.
Oh and regardless of what gears you go with make sure you follow the gear break-in instructions, it's a pain in the a$$ but it's a must.

Thank you for all the responses. I am a bit confused. I few people think 4:88 Is the way but the majority vote for 5:13. My JK is an unlimited X model with Dana 30 front axel and 3:73 gears 4 Drs Auto. So Is 5:13 in my jeep Ok? Because my jeep is not a Rubicon!
I trust in you guys even though 5:13 looks very short to me. I think I will go with 5:13. Any other advises are welcome!

I just went from 3:73 to 5:13's and I have an automatic four door. You wont regret it!!! My advice is listen to those on the forum. I did and Im extremely happy with the choice. I have 315 75R17 (close to 35's) and I'm getting 17.1 around town.

Plenty of answers. Use the search at the top right of the page. Type in Rubicon Gearing.

I see this question more than any other on on this forum, and with that; I would say if you run a 35" you should consider 5.13 with an Auto Transmission, or 4.88 with a Manual Transmission. That will be the best for the whole package.
