Re: Tire Size and Gear Ratios
I have an 08 Rubicon Unlimited, automatic. Im starting the following modifications. RE 4 1/2 Long arm kit with front and rear drive shafts. Warn front and rear rock crawler bumpers with tire carrier. Warn rock sliders, 9.5 ti winch. Procomp 7028 17X8.5 wheels and Procomp Xtreme M/T's. My intent is to do mostly trails and some rock crawling. I want to be able to get out of trouble but I'm not looking so much to get into it. This is not my everyday driver but I will be driving it to offroad destinations.I can't decide between 35 or 37 tires. Rubi is stock with 4.10 gears and D44s front and rear. Can I live with stock setup or should I go with Superior 4.88 gears? If I go with larger gears will I have to change the carrier and lose the stock electric lockers?
