Welcome!

You WILL get a lot of opinions about the gears-- it *Sounds* like the kit will work but I'd stick around for answers........... but dang near everything I've been reading on gearing--- 35's and the Sahara's 3:73's.... you'll be screaming for gears sooner than later.

Dont forget to have the speedo corrected for the tires and/or gears

I didn't think that the D44/D30 set up on the JK came with the 4.10 gears. I thought that the 07 had 4.10 (or 3.21) with D35/D30 and the 08 models had D44/D30 with 3.73 gears. I thought you could only get the 4.10 in the Rubicon only, starting in 08, and in the 07's, the 4.10 gears in non-Rubi's came in the D35/D30 set up. Am I wrong? Just asking because I don't want the OP to be mis-informed about his Jeep.

i have a 4" skyjacker lift with 35" Thornbirds... you do not have to change anything. I have not had a problem with my setup rubbing anywhere on or off road!! As far as the gearing goes you will be fine with your 4.10's but it is a personal thing! You can get almost back to the stock feel with a set of 4.88's again mine is stock 4.10 and i like the gas milage i'm getting so i'm leaving it!!
