I got the Max Tow. It and the Switch group were my only mandatories when searching or investigating possible custom order. I am still investaging whats size tire the 8 speed and the 4.10s will cease behaving well. May have to regear anyway but as I lean to conservative build and slow plans, I hope the 4.10s and 8 spd handle 35's fine. But 37s?????

For what it's worth I regeared a 4.10 JK to 4.56 (or maybe it was 4.88, can't remember) in hopes of getting better towing capability but I didn't notice any difference under towing load (about 3,400 lb). Cost at the time was $1600 for both axles. In retrospect it wasn't worth it. I figure the motor produces only so much torque and horsepower and it doesn't really matter how you slice it. Jeep as a tow vehicle is good not great.
