37's to start. I'm in the fence about 40's... It's a very high fence lolWhat size tires are you planning? I'd say the gear calculator spits out 4.56-4.88 for 37's.

For 35s I would NOT regear. I have 37s and EcoDiesel and it keeps 8th gear pretty well. Torque comes in very low 1500-1700rpms so, you aren't at high RPMs to turn the tires on the highway and definitely not off road. I would recommend that you drive it for a while before doing it. Some ppl really just want that 'off-the-line' feeling. I didn't buy a Jeep to drag race but if that is a thing you are looking for, I would try Pedal Commander before regearing.Please help I am new to all this! Am I reading you guys right with this gear ratio regaring not to change it for 35 inch tires? I'm ordering the Gladiator Rubicon Diesel and having AEV do some modifications. AEV is pushing to get the 4.1 upgrade with the 35's Tires because 3.73 for 33's is about 4.1 to 35's. But you guys are saying the 3.73 was too high for the 33's so I should leave it for the 35's and just get the speedometer adjusted. Thanks!

Question for you regarding this suggestion. I'm going to be using this primarily as a second second daily driver I guess you would say. Meaning second vehicle, my last hoo rah 4x4 (I'm near 60 years old) will play with it in the trails once a month most likely. So for 80 to 90% non off road although I will have over $75K into this Jeep friends are suggesting do I need the 37's when I first suggested it. I talked my self out of the 37's and then now the suggestion again always makes me wonder.get the 370 package with 4.56 and 37s

Look at my attachment please on my use of the vehicle, I see you have 37's. SolarWizard suggested 37's and for me to get the larger AEV package. I'd like to see your suggestion for my use also. I've gone back and fourth on the 35 and 37 too many times and am indecisive. What does 37's compared to 35's do to gas mileage, daily wear and tear on vehicle etc?
I feel the extra length and poor departure angle the Gladiator has requires 37's for even light trail work. If the gold standard for serious trail work in a JLU is 40's and up.......The Gladiator is 42's and up unless you want to grind on armor the whole time?
Mine will be for taking long distance camping trips in the desert and forest roads. I'm doing minimal amount of lift and 37's. I'm waiting on my diesel and expect that I will be putting 4.10's in it or possibly 4.30's when they are available since I do plan to tow and we have 9%+ grades in our area, but will drive it for a while before deciding.
Cant imaging wanting 4.56's unless you will spend most of your time off road loaded heavy and/or towing heavy. On the 8 speed trans direct is 6th gear, so why would you want to be pulling the hills WOT in an OD gear loaded anyway? I would want to gear for best economy/range on flat highway unloaded then you could drop to 6th or 7th when loaded heavy.
