would 4.56 be a happy medium between 4.10 and 4.88 with the 33's? Aalso i have a buddy says he can help me out when i am ready to regear any idea on coast if we do the work? So many thongs you can do choices are tough. And thank you for all the replies for I am new to the TJ world
Should I re-gear for 33s or get smaller tires?

Why do that to yourself? 4.10 isn't good and 4.56 not as good as 4.88 would be.

For the 4cyl and the 5 speed, isn't 5.13 the recommendation due to the low power engine?

I mean as opposed to regearing and not going low enough.
I don’t know squat about 4 cylinders, though.

Hi so if on 33's and you do alot of road miles, with Occasional off road what would you Personally recommend..

My point was instead of asking if 4.56 was low enough / a good compromise between 4.10 and 4.88, to ask if anyone had regeared and thought they went too low. I have heard many say they didn’t go low enough, so asking how many went too low seemed the thing to do.
On road vs off road makes no difference. Regearing for the road is often already lower than many expect it to be. Doing so for pavement will only be beneficial for off-road driving.
Put it like this. Gearing 4.88 with 33s puts you close to stock rpms but on the high side(for a 2.5l 5 speed).
Bigger tires need lower gears than stock to overcome the extra weight and rolling resistance. Gearing anything less than 4.88 will bog the motor down and cause you to use more throttle.which in turn will make the engine use more fuel. Why drive a turd around?
Not gearing enough for a given vehicle has no benefits.
Thank you ive a 4.0 in mine and I've had Conflicting information, even from a few garages I've talked to ..some say 4.10 .and others 4 88 ?

Garages? Common BS from people you’d think would know better. If I had $1 for every stupid thing a garage recommended that people posted up I could’ve built my whole Jeep with the earnings.
So with a 4.0 and 3 speed auto.. the question I've asked them all is what do i need to fit to just get a Good Acceleration and sustain 70-75 mph quite happily on the motorway.. At the moment if I put my foot to the floor ,she will take off quite quick but then sort of fades out at around 45 to 50 and then it's like like an asthmatic cow.
Setting an example?, to what, not ask a question your unsure of it was an simple question don't need your input thanks
Do you have stock 3.07 or 3.73 gears now? I wouldn't waste the money to regear from 3.73 to 4.10.
As others have pointed out, 4.88 is correct, but you seem hesitant to accept the advice. Maybe this will help to clarify.
Hi il have a look when I pull them out , but probably the 3.07 as she's struggling .. I mean to get to 60mph take longer than before. Plus the fuel consumption is really bad . There is a tag on the Differential casing with a load of numbers on it would that give me an idea of her gearing.
