Best Gear Ratio for a Daily Driver

[y2kcrawler]

I have 3.73 gears right now and it just seems to struggle a little bit with the 35" tires and inline 6, anyone know what would be better for road driving?

I would say 4.10 for mpg and 4.56 for power.

On the tj's with 35" tires, we have been installing 4.88's with a standard trans, and 5.13's if it is a automatic trans. Seems to work real well.

Thanks guys appreciate the input. Any idea on the cost to do all that?

1400-1500.00, depending on who you talk to.

the saying "you get what you pay for " is usually proven true with gears and bob's probably done more gears than anyone else from what i hear... my 2 cents...

My buddy runs 4.88s in his 4.0 YJ 5-speed on 35s and it drives almost like stock (performance-speaking).
