Gears/tire combinations
Hey guys.. what is everybody running that has went with larger tires? I have the rubicon wheels on stock X right now. It seems pretty sluggish so I'm sure I have the 3.23 gears most likely. I know I would probably upgrade tires at some point and want to plan the gears in the process also. in the 33-35 range, manual tranny... what's ideal 4.10? 4.88?

I've got the same setup as far as gears as you; 3.21. It was sluggish but bearable with stock tires, sluggish but bearable with 33's, and it's now sluggish but bearable with 35's. Honestly, I don't notice much of a difference between the three tire sizes except when trying to get up a steep incline on the highway, and of course gas mileage decrease with each increase in tire size. I think most, if not all of us on the Huntsville thread are running stock gears, be it 3.21, 3.73, or 4.10. I think we are would agree that no matter where we sit for gearing, the JK will be sluggish but bearable.

perfectly said.
I have a CAI...i'm going to get my exhaust put on and maybe a hypertec chip and just deal with it.
If i want to go fast I'll drive my Audi.
gears would be nice but they are way down the list for me.
with my Dana 30 and 35's
i was thinking i should get the EVO Gussets though...any ideas where i could get them welded on??

so the 35's don't destroy my little D30.
From what i read it shouldn't be a problem but i'd rather spend 90 bucks on these than buy new axels.
