4.88 or 4.56?

[OOC]

I recently installed front and rear lockers with 4.88's and I couldn't be happier with the performance. At about 70-75mph i'm at 2800rpm in OD. It feels 10 times better on the highway and offroad then it did with the 3.55's!

Hey, Energizer Bunny! When are we going to do those 30's? :callme: I'm taking Thursday and Friday OFF!

No gears now. My harmonic balancer came apart. Spun right off, what a loud bang :explosion Barney is going to be the donor untill I can find another one.

What size tires do you have? Automatic or manual transmission? I'm considering 4.88s with 33" Super Swampers. I had thought about going with 4.56s or even 4.10s and then putting a 4-1 kit in my t-case until I priced it. By the time you add a SYE and a 2-low kit you've just about paid for an Atlas!

Get the 4.88s. I'm going to miss the gearing when I go to 35s!

Ya know, you have been having a lot of these :explosion lately. Maybe you need to think about this whole jeep'n thing. It may not be for you!

I'm running 3.55 and 35's! Seems to do ok, I say ok because on the road I have lost the use of 4th gear and off the road any throttle application equals tire spin. Kind of hard in the snow. should be lots of fun in the mud

3.55 with 35's
i have 3.55 with 31's and i hate it im going to 4.10's

I am currently running 33's! Maybe next summer 35's.

Think really hard if you're ever going to go to larger tires. Regearing is somthing that you only want to do once.
