4..10’s were acceptable except on the highway, 8th gear was nonexistent. Once I switched to 5.13 the Jeep became much more fun to drive with the felt added torque from the gear swap
Recently went from stock 33” tires to 37” tires. Ran stock 4.10 gears for about 2 months and then regeared to 5.13 the Jeep is so much more fun to drive. First gear is over pretty quick but cruising on the highway is a pleasure in 8th gear and 70 mph.
I purchased a 6” drop step from Warrior. I had to cutoff the curved hook they bend in to fit there rock rails. I then simply used rivnuts to bolt the step to the rock rails. When I go off road I can just unbolt them. Works fantastic
