| Hello everybody! Well got some cash to spend on the jeep, and I was wondering what I should spend it on. I was thinking rear trackbar, seat covers (buy the front and get the rear free), winch, front stubby, or control arms for the front. Right now I'm running the FT 3" with front adj track bar, and 35s. I got a aFe intake, but still need front and rear bumper. Rock rails, winch, and all the control arms. The jeep rides great but I'm still running a relocation braket in the rear. I really was thinking to replace that first. What do you guys think? Any input would be great. Thanks | |

| Like Jon said. I would save a litlle more and get your gears taken care of. 35's and 3.21 gears must suck. Mine are 4.10's and tolerable. Not sure kind of steps you have now, but if they are plastic, you will need protection there too if you plan to wheel. | |

| I hear you guys, but really the gears are not that bad. With the intake install it went almost back to stock. Plus it's a 2dr don't know if that helps or not. I check the specs of the jeep and it says 3.21, but i wonder if it really is a 3.21. Like i said, it's really not that bad at all. I really have to make the next met to let you guys drive it, maybe it was listed wrong, I wonder now if i have 4.10. Anyways thanks for the input. Thanks | |

| dude just take off you diff cover and look on the ring for the stamped numbers on the ring. You will find something like 41 10 or something like that. That number is the teeth on the ring and the teeth on the pinion. that will tell you exactly what you have. You divide the large number by the small one. If you have 323's it may read 42 13 42/13= 3.23 if you have 41 10 it is 41/10= 4.10 After you figure that out i think that will help you make your decision. Personally if i had 4.10's i wouldn't change gears with just runnin 35's | |

| If you don't have 4.10s then get gears (4.88 or 5.13) but if you got the 4.10s then get sliders | |
