My apologies as I know somewhere on here I asked this question on a thread but I can't find where it is, hence this thread.
2004 LJ automatic.
I have Dana 44s front and rear with 4.88 gears and I am running 33s x12.5 on 15" rims
I was told DON'T go to 35s unless I go to 5.38 gears because of the OD in this transmission and how it LOVES to stay in OD. I have experienced this even with the 33s where I will kick the OD off when getting on highway ramps or up long hills annoying but still only a first world problem.
I met a guy with a 2003 TJ who is running Dana 44 in the rear and I forget what up front (I think 44 as well). He has and automatic and 3.73 gears and is running 35s with no problem at all, he said it doesn't struggle on or off road. What's the deal? Is the tranny different between '03 and '04?
