this is a rule of thumb that i have found.
auto manual
33-4.10 33-4.56
35-4.56 35-4.88
37-4.88 37-5.13???
The auto's need deeper gearing than the manual transmissions. I think you may have your columns reversed. Your "auto" gearing is spot-on for a 6-spd Rubi though... ;D

Like Ed said, any deeper with a 3 speed and you'll be turning 4K at 65 mph.

with 33s I say run what you brung and carry shafts and tools! you probably wont ever break a rear shaft who in deja has with 33s to much web wheeling says the guy on 1 tons. lock the front with a lock rite and enjoy your extra money that you saved not being a big huge guy
Daddanlena blew a passenger 35 shaft last year. I think he might have blown the other side, too. not sure. -
Josh,
Play around with this....

it is a calculator for gears. you can either put in your stock tire and gear and see what you should have for larger tires, or if you know your current gears/tires and like the config then use that to calculate for larger tires, or you can do the calculation based on desired speed, rpm, tire size and it will spit out the recommended gears.

33-3.73 33-4.10
35-4.10 35-4.56 -

Huh? With the added slippage of a torque converter you can get away with taller gears with an auto.

Josh, make sure you have 3:73's now. My TJ came with 3speed auto and 3:07's. I have 4:10's now with my 35's and can still hold 75mph easily.

I'm running 33's with 3:73 gears now and I have an auto. shift points are a little off especially at the 60mph mark. I was told that putting in the right speedo gear would correct some of that. Is that true?

you can look on the rear diff cover..........

as has been said already
33" tires + 4spd auto = 4.10 gears
that is all, the great one has spoken

Let me ask you this. What do you want to do with it that you can't do on 33's. I'll be honest with you I liked mine better on 33's then on 35's. If I had to do it again I'd leave mine on 33's and get a dana 44 rear. With the 8.8 that I have now I'm kind of stuck on 35's. If I go 33's I'll drag the pumpkin over everything. Also on 35's things begin to get to "Easy" and I use that term loosly. Of course I could run reds with the S&S guys but then again I don't want to destroy my jeep. If your even considering keeping that as a DD then I'd stay 33's. Ever since I put on 35's I very rarely use my jeep on the road. Kind of took the fun out of it when I get harrassed by the local cops about my tires and lift. Most of the time unless I'm in DE or MD I trailer mine. I know in DE it's not that big of a deal but it's still not practical as a DD.Just something to think about.
i agree 100% if i could do it over again...i would have stayed at 33's the day i went to 35's with 4.56 gears my jeep was no longer a practical dd...thus my reason for selling it

On an auto I'd go 33's and 3:73's. Go with a 44 rear and lock it if you want. I personally liked the challenge of being open but now that I have my lockers I do like the security of having them. Build it TUFF not BIG.
i agree with the building it tuff not big.. i think 33's are the biggest my jeep will see for a long long time. now all my money is going into "tuffer" components -
