I am going to be wanting 35's on my jeep and im wondering if my Jeep will have the same power using 4.10s with the 35's as it does with 33s and 3.73s now.

The short answer is no. The long answer is: I just switched my gears on my 2010 auto with 34's from 3.73 to 4.56. WOW what a difference. I would say for 35's I personally would do 4.88. Its depends on what engine you have and what type of transmission. Your going to get 1,000 opinions on this. You would be best calling someone like Northridge and asking their professional opinion. There are a lot of factors to conside when changing.

also, no matter the gearing, the higher your vehicle sits, the more drag it has....food for thought

I looked at your profile and it says you have a 3.8 auto. If this is true don't waste your money going to 4.10s. I ran 4.10s with 33s and it was okay but it was brutal with 35s. I switched to 5.13s and it's a night and day difference. I also have a 3.8 auto. At the bare minimum go with 4.88s but I would highly recommend 5.13s. On the highway doing 110km/h, i am running at just below 2500 RPM.

I have a 3.8 and an auto with 35s and 4:88s. 5:13s would be best but the higher you go numerically, the smaller the pinion gear gets would might be a weak point. That's the reason I went 4:88. Don't waste your money on 4:10s

It will never be the same,,, 35's are heavy,, and you will notice the difference, weather accelerating,, or braking. Suck it up!
