    Regear for better interstate driving?

    It'll spend 95% of its life on very flat ground. Whenever we go to the mountains it'll be in the 2014 unlimited my wife drives

    Regear for better interstate driving?

    Regear for better interstate driving?

    Hello everyone, I have a 2000 Tj Sahara 4.0 with a Dana 44 rear axle 3.73 gear ratio. NV3550 manual transmission. Dana 30 up front. Current tire size in 30". I've spent a lot of time getting the little things on this Jeep sorted out and I'm to the point I want to make it a little more...

    Question about running 35s with a 2" lift
