I’ve got a wrangler 6 cyl manual on 35’a and stock gears. Very lethargic. There’s an xj44 with a mini spool and matching 4.56’s in my garage right now waiting to be built for that reason. 3.07’s even in low range don’t make for much of a crawler.

I have a cherokee 2.5L manual it has 4.11 gearing, i dont know if its stock gearing. Dana 30 front chrysler 8.25 rear. Is it okay to have 35 inch tires? I just got it. Thanks!

Pretty solid info. Id say though that the gear ratio charts are very generic taking the one size fits all approach. Find a calculator that asks for transmission final drive ratio and rpm at a desired speed. Often if you just use a chart you’ll be disappointed and wanting a numerically higher ratio.

Good video man I’ll keep watching I got a 99 2door on 35s and stock gears welded in the rear and it does fine for now I’ll probably just go ahead and put 5.13s in it

I wouldn't go any lower than 4.56 with the Dana 30, the pinion gear is really small on a 4.88 and 5.13 gear for the dana 30.

I'm running 33s with a four inch lift. I was debating about regearing as it's my daily and weekend warrior

I'm turning 33s with a 3 in lift and I am seriously thinking about re-gearing. I just picked up another XJ and it still has its 235s on, wow what a difference.

I’m on 32’s no lift. I’d like to go to higher, but I want Dana 60’s for that. I may change gears, but if I go with stock axels i am going low as possible on 37’s

5.5" lift, 33's w/4.56 locked f&r. Night & day difference. Way more low end pull & fun on the street. Sure you can keep stockers, but why? Don't putz out now.

Ya I'm same lift,33's but I opted for 4.88's thinking I'd upgrade to 35's but im real happy with this set up. Stock gears made everything work harder and gas mileage went out the window.

Ronnie, thank you for the video and all the good information.

Another great video. Keep them coming ill keep watching

Hey Ronnie, hoping you can help ease my mind a bit. I currently have an 01 wj thats basically on 32s 2” lift and according to the vin has 3.73 gears. Its an absolute pig on the highway with no passing power but ive never had a 4.0 that was fast so maybe ive gotten to used to my 260hp 4.0 4runner. Anyways im looking at buying a gorgeous 01 xj with 6.5” of lift on 35s and stock gears. Guy says it drives fine and hes been daily driving for awhile. Which concerns me abt the condition of the tranny. But this guy also lives in toledo and works at chrysler so im gonna go drive it. Just hoping ill be able to daily it as i work construction and work all over ohio. It seems to be a good value and id pay to have the gears done but the wife might be mad at me for wanting to spend a grand plus after just buying it. 😆. Thanks for the video. You give me some hope bc the forums say your a nut job and the jeep will literally explode if you do this.

any bigger than 31's I would at bare minimum give it a trans cooler

Running 31s with stock 3,55 Fuckin dog Still an xj Better than most

My next upgrade is 4.11s. On 31s, and your assessment is spot-on.

So my xj is a trail ride and doesn't ever see the highway. I have about 6 inches of lift and want to run 35s but what kind of problems if any should I expect to run into being that it's only a trail build.

Nobody ever says anything about upgrading the torque converter which would help also with larger tires. I mean if you upgrade the gears you really don't need to upgrade the torque converter but you could probably upgrade the torque converter and not upgrade the gears and still see some improvement.

Yeah it would help

I was running mismatched gears in my xj for a season on 35s. 3.07 front 3.55 rear. Ax15 manual trans. It was awful. Lol but it works.

I just got fucked over on a Jeep, and found out it’s stock gearing on 35s needs its drive line extended all sorts of shit lol

Me and my buddy both have 35s on a Chrysler 8.25 with 3.55 gears (98 Cherokee 6.5in lift). We wheel HARD in mud holes and do a lot of hill climbing. No issues. I welded my rear 6 months ago and haven’t had an issue yet.

I did recently lifted my 97 zj 3.5 inches added 31 inch tires on 15 inch rims. Looks awesome but concerned about regearing. DO I have to regear?? In your video you said you didn't. Just need reassuring

You'll feel the difference but it's all good. 31s made my speedo off about two and a half to 3 mph,(at 50/55mph). 33s have pushed it to 5 to 6 mph off. Even with the 33s regearing seems like an option not a necessity.

i have a 98 zj and you notice that it’s slower, really should be fine though. i’m going to regear but it’s truly fine

Would you happen to know what 3239 means on a 8.25 axle tag ??

So 4.56 is the optimal gear ratio for 35s?

Hi sir.. My xj 2.5 petrol.. I want use 35inch tyre.. What ratio exle i must use
