I've been thinking about lifts and larger tires since before I got my first Wrangler. Now that I have it, the questions remain in my head.
First, about the Jeep:
'98 Wrangler 2.4L (all stock), manual, 31.6" tires
I would like to be able to put 33's or even 35's on my Jeep. I realized that this would require a regear...
First, I know it really doesn't matter too much, but I'd like to know what gears I have on it currently. The differential does not have the ratio marked on it. I took my Jeep on the highway this weekend and logged two RPM guages for two different speeds.
-2600 RPM at 60MPH in 5th gear
-3000 RPM at 70MPH in 5th gear
I was wondering if there was a formula or equation that I could use to get the gear ratios from these numbers?
Next, what gears would be recommended for a base Wrangler with 33's or possibly even 35's on it? I've done a little research, and I've heard 4.88s? Also, would I need a new axle as well?
Thanks in advance for the information.
