I am lifting my 04 rubicon and will be putting 35's and or possibly 37's on it. What ring and pinion sets can I choose from without changing my stock rubicon locking carriers? I'm thinking 4:55 or 4:88 is what I want
Nv3550 5 speed manualAre you running an Auto or Manual? Just curious what answers come back here on upgrading the Rubi D44s.
Stock tires ATM and stock 4:10'sMore information is needed what size gears are you currently running. And what transmission do you have
I would go with 4.88 with 35s on a manual. If you drive alot on the highway/freeway. If you want more low end power with a lack of good freeway speed i would go with 5.13 gears.Stock tires ATM and stock 4:10's
4.88 would be a perfect ratio for that. 5.13 wouldn't be too low of a ratio too though. Especially if you'll ever be at higher altitudes when towing your trailer.My rig is going to be more of a long distance overland expedition vehicle pulling an adventure trailer, so lots of highway driving and also the ability to get up in the mountains on some decent trails mostly forest service roads.

well the AX-15 gears are 3.83, 2.33, 1.44, 1.00, 0.79,What about the later model Rubicon’s (05-06) with the 6 speed nsg370? Would 35s and 4.56 gearing be best or 4.88?

The 03-04 Rubicons used the NV3550, not the AX-15.well the AX-15 gears are 3.83, 2.33, 1.44, 1.00, 0.79,
nsg370 gears are 4.46 2.61 1.72 1.25 1.00 0.84
so other then a much lower 1st at top end you are going to be bretty much the same as the 5 speed.
4.88 would be more than enough for 35's with your 6-speed transmission and a good decision. The 6-speed is geared lower than the 5-speed is so you'd have slightly higher engine rpms with the 6-speed than 5-speed. Not enough so so that I'd consider going with 4.56.I am also going to be regearing my 44s to accommodate 35” tires with the nsg370 trans. I’m use to 5 speed Xj and zjs. As I’ve read the difference is minimal so 4.88s should be sufficient right?
