sheer power is going to be 5.38.What are you guys running with 38s & 40s
I was going to go 5,13 or 5,38
It's not about driving fast just want TQ/Power to the ground.
Don’t get me wrong I drive my Jeeps on the Interstate
So you Professionals tell me what Gears to go with
that ive no idea.Yes Auto Just wondering how it is going to Tac out running 70 on the road
awesome! Good luck!I believe 488s would be a better fit, i am reaching out to some builders to get feedback
Can you expand on this statement?I would use caution on going too low with the gearing.
Going too low your going to take away top end and mpg and take away what makes the Gladiator a good daily driver. I believe that 4:58`s would be close to a stock Rubicon with 4:10`s and 33`s. No need to have the motor revving any higher than it needs to be.Can you expand on this statement?
Putting 40s on a Jeep takes away from it being a good daily driver. That said, 5.38 isn't too low at all. If the question isn't whether or not you have to re-gear (entirely too subjective) but rather what ratio to go with, then I suggest the tallest available gear that you can live with at the maximum expected speed. Here's the calculation:Going too low your going to take away top end and mpg and take away what makes the Gladiator a good daily driver.

That`s the beauty of the 8 speed.2035 rpm in high gear works for the Rubicon because of 33 inch tires. When you increase the size of the tire, you cannot just increase the rpm linearly. You will also need more hp to turn those bigger tires at the same rpm, so, the rpm has to go up more to get more hp. So, instead of 2035 rpm, you will want 2200 or 2300 to give you that extra hp to be efficient at that speed.
