Just out of curiosity, did you have to change out your gear ratio after the lift? If you didn't, are you considering doing so? Just wondering because I also have a jku sport that I'm considering lifting in the near future, want to build similar to yours! Btw great looking rig!

Thank you for the kind words.

Ultimately your lift is not what determines gear ratio, it is your tires. Lift can dictate many things like brake lines, bump stops, steering, driveshafts and so on. However, tires are the biggest influence in gears.

My sport came with 3.21s which I drove on with 35s for about a year. It was SLOW! I now run 4.88 Yukon gears and love it. I also had my axles sleeved and gusseted. O yea, and I installed a yukon air locker in the rear axle!

If you plan on lifting and going with 35s you will need to regear. 33s are about the limit where you do not have to address gears

Really like your choice of wheels in that color. Can't wait to see them on the Jeep with the lift installed. :victory:

Right in PA, 30 mins south of Philadelphia. How do you like the open country tires? I have duratracs now and am wondering if i should go with something different once they need to be changed out.
