What benefit would I gain by...

[Bird Dog]

Let’s see pics of the trailer!
I pull mine everywhere on 35’s with 4.10 gearing. The Rubi has better low range gearing so nothing to worry about.

I wish I had some to share. The trailer is being fabricated. It's a one off design that will be multi-purpose when completed. 5x10 with matching Jeep tires and rims, RTT, presurized wated tank, side storage with fold down doors and able to carry either two kayaks or my 4-wheeler. I'll definitely make a post once complete. Saw a similar design at MOORE last year that inspired the idea. I'm hoping to stay busy when I retire next year Nice teardrop BTW

Thank you for the great reply. My thoughts on the regearing was strictly for improved MPG. I think I'll just leave it alone and pay at the pump when I tow. The ROI just isn't there.

For an automatic Rubicon, regearing isn't truly required.. with a sport manual, I would argue it is, especially offroad. But everything else gets into the gray area where it could help, and specific use cases come into play.

You probably won't gain any mileage unless at your cruising speed you are over 3000 rpm (not towing) because it can't or won't upshift and maintain speed.
