Hey everyone,
I recently sold my lowered truck and picked up my first Jeep. Looking to get into off-roading and camping with my dog more often.
The Jeep is great, but I'd like it to be better at cruising down the highway.
I have the three speed automatic what I believe to be 4:56 gears; said by the previous owner. I drive going 65mph according to the GPS, but the speedo reads about 70mph and the motor spins at about 3,000RPM. The tires are 33" tall and I was wondering, from your experience, if getting 35s or 37s would get the RPMs to about 2,500 at 65mph?
I figured I could regear, but I like the idea of bigger tires.
Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to the Jeep life!
Best regards,
Philip
