Finally a video that has my exact same setup! I’ve been back and forth whether to go 4.56 or 4.1. I have a 2016 manual JKU also. Also pretty heavy. And also live in the southeast lol. So you’re the closest to my setup and I want to move up fr 285 tires to 35s. My only question is, I DO want to hit up areas like blue ridge or mountains in the west. I don’t care much about speed but I do care about the pickup and getting rid of the sluggishness when going uphill. Right now you can feel it struggle even with the slightest incline. Has the 4.56 eliminated that issue?
Thanks for watching!!! My Jeep with 4.56 gears eats north Georgia mtns like cake man. I can’t speak for our west as I haven’t been but North Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee and the Jeep just powers up anything. Best part is I can pull 6th gear on most MTN back roads that allow for 55-60mph. I can lean into the throttle and she will past folks on the highway in 6th gear.
4.56 gears on 35’s gives the Jeep a stock tire size power and feeling. My Jeep had 3.21 and it was a total dog, 6th gear was useless. I shifted all the time on backroads just to try and maintain speed.
Something to think about. Your building and overland Jeep it looks. Overland Jeeps tend to gain weight from more gear and accessories for outdoor living. My Jeep my gain a little weight as I add tools, and some odds items but she is about as heavy as it’s gets. 4.88 gears could be an option for out West travels and for the future weight that can be added to a overland rig.
@@Georgia4Low maaaan this 3.21 gotta go lol. That being said, who did your install? Because if you live in NW Fla like I do and you know someone that would be awesome. But I need to regear almost immediately.

Thanks for watching. To many people riding around on 35/37 in tires with 3.21 and 3.73 gears, they just don’t realize the difference what regearing can make, I know because I rode around on 3.21 gears for a year.
I have a 2018 JKU Willys Wheeler with a 6-speed and 3.73’s. I’m running 33.5/34” tires and the stock gears are pretty good. I’m wanting lockers and the Yukon’s look to be my cup of tea! When I get them I’ll probably re-gear at the same time so i can get my RPM’s back.
The Grizzly Lockers are tuff as hell!! 1st gear in parking lots the rear locker can a little fussy, I manage it with a little clutch control. Offroad they are king!!
My JK came with 3.21s , wish I would have done 4.56 sooner. Only disadvantage is no more 80 mph on interstates. Other then that is what the vehicle should've came with from the factory. My MPG actually improved.
Thank you man. This is what i was looking for. I have JKU auto on 35.4 KO2, a bit heavy as yours.. im on 4.10 but was debating 4.88 or 4.56, i guess i will swap 4.56 in

@@bu3azoozz263 most of my offroad trips are anywhere from 700 to 3000ft above sea level and the 4.56 gears work great. sounds like you have an overland set up which they tend to get heavy, review your elevation and the highest elevation at which you offroad at, current rpm at 70mph, and then decided between 4.56 or 4.88 gears.

Yes, 4:56 gears will be a perfect match even with your auto trans. Given your model year Jeep you'll need to have the ECU reprogrammed for the new gear ratio, this way your have proper shift points. If a 4x4 shop is doing the re-gear then I'm sure they understand this process. thanks for watching
Great video bud. I am doing 4.88 out here in California just in case 37’s are in the future lol. Jeep looks great too, what fenders are you running I like them.
Kevin Gray thanks for watching, they are Aries Automotive polished flares. I’m building mine to be the best it can be on 35’s. I’ll do another Jeep in the future with 37s.
A lot depends on things I mentioned in the video. South Texas likely is low altitude and no hills. If more off-road built I would go 4.88 but if you off-road and enjoy driving to work or cruising backroads I’d do 4.56
not a bad idea. I plan on going to 37's in the next few years. I just bought a new set of 35's and they will be the last 35's, 37's next and 4:88 for me. thanks for watching.
@@Georgia4Low this one lifted, but i ask about different in acceleration time of car with same engine and different axle ratio. In youtube many videos with acceleration, but no one say about ratio in gear.
Likely never seen acceleration test on Jeep Wranglers is because if it was meant to be fast it wouldn’t be shaped like a brick. Wish I had better info for you.
Great video! thank you for all the information. What do you think I have a 2008 jeep jku Sahara I'm running 37s And I'm planning to re gear to 4.56 should I do it or 4.88?
4.88 is the basic starting gear ratio for 37in tires. Based off where you live ( high altitude ) and other Jeep specs and equipment 5.13 could be an option. Thanks for watching and glad the video helped.
The 4:56 gears with these 35’s is basically drives and feels like stock, geared for every day use since we drive it to all trail heads. At some point it will be geared for trail use since we’ll trailer it more or all the time.
Appreciate your video as always. Great information! I just ordered a 2024 Rubicon X. I can't decide if I should opt for the 4.56 or 4.88 gears. I don't plan on pulling a trailer but I will have a roof top tent and overlanding gear in the back. It is my daily driver but I work from home so not a big deal. I figure about a 20% chance of me ever moving up to 37s. I am concerned about my MPG as I live in California where gas is almost $6 a gallon. Do you think it will affect my mpg a great deal? Most of my off roading is in the mountains.
Thanks for watching! Adding weight and accessories will cost you some MPG. Proper gear ratio for the tire size will not cheat you out of MPG. With additional weight and overland gear you’ll want proper gears for tire size. 4:56 would be fine choice.
@@Georgia4Low so you put a grizzly locker up front in place of the carrier? And the rear you said a duratrac? I'm new to off reading and really want to start from the bottom and build of the right way so please put this in layman's terms lol

@@ThomasTribeTrailsI have a 2014 JKU with 35x12.5r17 tires that measure roughly 33.75" and I just upgraded from 3.21 to 4.56...... no more 1900 rpms at 70 on the hwy....it's up around 2600-2700rpm. It's my daily driver and I'm 90% hwy. Kinda wish I would've went 4:10. I have low end grunt now which I didn't have before, but the top end is not ideal for hwy driving especially if you drive on the NJ turnpike... Like I do. Just food for thought. I hope I helped with your decision.
4:10 is a lot better than 3:73 or the 3:21 gears but your 8 speeds trans is what’s helping your JT with 35’s feel like it’s still on stock tires. JK’s had 4 or 5 speed autos and 6 speed manuals so larger tires really were a lot more noticeable in performance lost.
Great video thank you have a question hoping you can help my wife and I bought this Jeep 2016 JK you already had a lift has 37 inch tires we didn’t even know it was to 4.56 I am getting ready to do my ball joints in the front so I got a rip everything out pretty much to do with the wheel assembly while I was in there I was thinking of replacing the axles and hubs. They look like stock If I change out the knuckle hubs and axle, is there a certain one I need for the 4.56. Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I would recommend 4.56 gears but make sure the shop that performs the regear can also reprogram for proper shift points. A local friend of mine has a 2012 and 2013 JKU on 35's and he loves the 4.56 gears in both Jeeps ( he jeeps run around 2600-2800rpm at 70). If your Jeep is lightly built and is a 2 door and doesn't see any off-road use you could run 4.10 gears. But if you are looking for total performance on and off-road and have plans to build up the Jeep I'd go with 4.56 gears.
Hello Drit hammer I just got a 2013 jeep wrangler unlimited SAHARA V6 3.6 automatic jk GECKO PREARL GVWR 5500 So I think gear Ratio is 3:73 Has a lot of zip but transmission shifting funny 😬 I'm 66 years old and on disability I would like to set it up to help people this winter if they get stuck I'm going to install a 9000,lbs winch I live in Wisconsin Not to many place's that know about jeep transmission shifting problems with over size tires, ? So what gear ratio is the best for automatic Please let me know Thanks ○|||||||○ ° °
What size tire are you running? Gear ratio selection should be based off tire size, usage (trail rig or daily driver) elevation, and overall Jeep accessories like heavy bumpers, gear, etc.
@@Georgia4Low Hello Dirt Hammer Thanks for the reply I'm running 35x12.50r20 tires M/S it's what came with the jeep when I bought it from the Dealer ship
@@davidmilovanovich9415 likely the trans is shifting funny due to the larger tires. It’s harder for the trans to get into overdrive with the larger tires. If you regear it for the proper tire size the ECU will need to be reflashed for proper gear ratio and trans shift points.

@@davidmilovanovich9415 not shifting into reveres is not related to gears or tires so likely there is an issue with the trans internally. Returning to stock will not fix a shifting issues into reveres.
If you have stock 3.55 gears then 4.10 should be good but I recommend checking with a few more folks that have better knowledge regarding the TJ model Jeeps.
I see this is a year old comment. But.... I just drove my 97 TJ Home w/4:56 installed (33" tires). I asked for 4:10/4:11 when I went in but the shop's owner and his assistant convinced me that 4:56's was the way to go with a 5sp manual. The 1st ten miles.... I'm not happy. If I drove off road.... Maybe? But at this moment... I'm not happy. I think it's too much gear for my type of driving and the stock wt. of the jeep. I'll test it a month before I decide to pull it out.
4:88 gears would offer better 4low crawl for technical terrain, could even offer better ability if you wanted to tow a small trailer, or you lived at higher elevation. Thanks for watching
Considering regearing my dana 30 front and dana 44 rear on my 2020 jlu sahara altitude to 4.56. Running 33’s from dealer but will jump to 35’s later. Is this gear ratio good?
Depending on where you live the the 4.56 gear could be a tad much for 33in tires. Like I mentioned in the video altitude, Jeep use, weight, etc all affect what gear ratio you should select. 4.56 gears are perfect for my heavy Jeep here in the Southeast with 35in tires, it’s like driving a stock Jeep again.

Not to many place's that know about jeep transmission shifting problems with over size tires, ? So what gear ratio is the best for automatic
Please let me know
Thanks ○|||||||○

What size tire are you running? Gear ratio selection should be based off tire size, usage (trail rig or daily driver) elevation, and overall Jeep accessories like heavy bumpers, gear, etc.

Hello Dirt Hammer
Thanks for the reply
I'm running 35x12.50r20 tires
M/S it's what came with the jeep when I bought it from the Dealer ship
@@davidmilovanovich9415 likely the trans is shifting funny due to the larger tires. It’s harder for the trans to get into overdrive with the larger tires. If you regear it for the proper tire size the ECU will need to be reflashed for proper gear ratio and trans shift points.

Hello
I do have a supper chip pac
It doesn't seem to help much
I don't have a computer to update or upload
To night it didn't go in reverse at first it sometimes does this when it is warm the dealer ship don't want to do anything they just said put it back to stock I said I didn't alternator it you sold it to me this way 🤧
@@davidmilovanovich9415 not shifting into reveres is not related to gears or tires so likely there is an issue with the trans internally. Returning to stock will not fix a shifting issues into reveres.
Is the speedo corrected for your tire size?
Yes the speedo had been corrected prior to video.
For my TJ 5-Speed, 4.0L, on 33's, would you recommend 4.10's or 4.56's?
If you have stock 3.55 gears then 4.10 should be good but I recommend checking with a few more folks that have better knowledge regarding the TJ model Jeeps.
Again some things depend, added weight to the TJ Jeep, type of trail work, and elevation are just some things to consider
@@Georgia4Low, thank you for your response and advice!
You’re Welcome!
I see this is a year old comment. But.... I just drove my 97 TJ Home w/4:56 installed (33" tires). I asked for 4:10/4:11 when I went in but the shop's owner and his assistant convinced me that 4:56's was the way to go with a 5sp manual.
The 1st ten miles.... I'm not happy. If I drove off road.... Maybe? But at this moment... I'm not happy. I think it's too much gear for my type of driving and the stock wt. of the jeep.
I'll test it a month before I decide to pull it out.
What Soft top setup is that?
It’s a SunTop cargo top with cargo rack.
So how would 488 gears be better ?
4:88 gears would offer better 4low crawl for technical terrain, could even offer better ability if you wanted to tow a small trailer, or you lived at higher elevation. Thanks for watching
@Georgia4Low thank you.
But for everyday driving like stock would 4.56 gears be better ?
Also if I was to use 37s would 4.56 be good ?
Everyday driving and even off-road the 4:56 gears are great. If you run 37’s go with 4:88 gears
What did your mechanic charge you for the installation?
B and R Automotive in Cartersville, GA charged $300 per axle and $60 for Diff fluid. Thanks for watching
@@Georgia4Low very gd..I live in upstate ny..I just got a quote to install 456 yukon gears in my jk for $575 plus tax and oil
3767712 nice, that’s a great deal. I’ve seen some shops charging $600 per axle.
I'm looking forward to the 456 gears on my 6 speed and 35inch rubber.great vids
You’ll love it!! Thanks for the support.
You need to come to California and wheel sometime.
GrayLine Overland it’s on my bucket list for sure. Thanks for watching
@@Georgia4Low cleghorn and big bear are some good Southern California trails

Considering regearing my dana 30 front and dana 44 rear on my 2020 jlu sahara altitude to 4.56. Running 33’s from dealer but will jump to 35’s later. Is this gear ratio good?
Depending on where you live the the 4.56 gear could be a tad much for 33in tires. Like I mentioned in the video altitude, Jeep use, weight, etc all affect what gear ratio you should select. 4.56 gears are perfect for my heavy Jeep here in the Southeast with 35in tires, it’s like driving a stock Jeep again.
