I am going to be putting a 6.0l motor in my 98 wrangler tj. Why question is what should I run for gears front and back. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What tire size you running?

What trans? I have 4.10s with my 35s and Hemi/5 speed auto. I think I'd be better off with 4.56s or 88s though.

If you're using the 4L60 and 33s then 4.10 may be ok. If you are changing gears anyway, consider 4.56. It will make it launch really hard from a dead stop and still give decent RPM for the hiway. I should ask what are your off road uses..I play mostly in the dunes( lots of 2WD hi speed stuff) so thats what I've based my advice on.

I have a 5.3 swap and I have 4.10s with 35s. I dont have any problems. I think the 6.0 would handle them a little better.
