 |
|
Okay, now that I've got my 8.8 in my TJ, I'm looking at putting 35" tires on it. Before I do this I want to regear, and can't decide between 4.56 and 4.88.
I do not plan on going any larger than 35" tires, not with these axles anyway. Any suggestions?
1999 Jeep TJ
I-6 with 5 speed manual. Stock transfercase.

Are you happy with the 4.56 or do you wish you would have gone to the 4.88s?
I also pull a trailer occasionally, so that may factor into the gear choice.

the 456 is ideal w/ the i-6 and it will put you in the same rpm range you are in right now w/ stocks on it. the 4.88s will have your rpms i little higher. when your ready to do it pm me i will hook you up.  |

The only place to find
The only place to find a Discount golf clubs in all of Minorca is the beautiful resort of Son Parc. Son Parc is located on the northern coast of Menorca, about 20km west of Mahon, 7km east of Fornells, and only （ishiner）a 20 minutes Minorca's Mahon airport. The ever-expanding resort is building more apartments to the south of the golf course. |

I put 4.56's in my jeep and I really like them. I had 4.10's and couldn't make the speed limit on the Turnpike. Now, I'm doing over and running fine

I like my 4.88's with the 35's. But I always planned on going bigger just a little.
