[RubiconExp.XJ]

Well gas costs to much and my rig eats to much of it i think im gunna have to re gear. Will this solve some of the problem with that i hear it will but thats not the only reason why im changing gears. I need to extra ratio cause i can barley make it up hills on th highway. Im runnin 33's right now what size you guys think i need like 4.11's or something like that. Give me your input.

I'm going from 3:07's to 4:10's next week and that should put me in the power band for my LT235 ATKO's. Been told that ratio is good past 31" tires,not sure about 33's...

at least 4.56 for auto. 4.88 for a manual IMHO.

you must be a newbie... do a search and i'm sure you'll find the answer. for the meantime, i'm running 33's with 4.56's in an auto. hope that helps.

i have 4.88s and an auto, I have both 33s and 35s (street and wheelin tires) the 33s are PERFECT with the 4.88s at all speeds, but when I put the 35s on and drive on the street I wish I had 5.38s.

go AT LEAST 4.56, but I reccomend 4.88s

Go for 4.10's if you have the AX15 manual and 4.56's if you have the AW4 auto.
