4.88 Gears with 35 inch tires

[@michaelhegerfeld5286]

No way I would ever think about doing this myself. Great video thanks so much.

[@hg7240]

I'd say from watching this that if you want this job done right, then leave it to the professionals-and these guys looked very professional. nice

[@sk1ppman]

Great video! I will definitely have a reputable shop do the work when I go from 3.73's to 4.88's. Also, thank you for not using some country cottage guitar music in your video like every other Jeep video seems to.

[@Winch_Offroad]

It's always hard to fit music to the video and to find music that's copyright free....thanks for watching too..

[@phantomwalker8251]

@@Winch_Offroad your jeep has an E locker.?. didnt get mentioned. the higher you go in ratio,the weaker the pinion. so best to upgrade diffs. d44 d60 ect.

[@hassanmadi7042]

I plan on getting my 2017 jku regeared by them soon too

[@gorillahd9247]

Good video and a smart upgrade. I chose G2 D44's with 4.88's, chromoly shafts, and Truetracs for my TJ on 35's. Glad I found your channel - subbed!

[@Winch_Offroad]

Thank you, I am looking at axle shafts now.....

[@AceGoodheart]

Do you remember how much you paid for your D44's? I'm trying to get price comparisons.

[@gorillahd9247]

@@AceGoodheart I got them during a sale day online for around $2500.00 each about 7 years ago.

[@Winch_Offroad]

Mine is a Rubicon, so already were 44s

[@Winch_Offroad]

Thank you

[@kkim1177]

I regeared my tj to 4.88. I still got my 33’s and my speedometer is F’d. I hope switching to 35s helps the speedometer get back to little normal

[@immelting9834]

Change your speedo gear . They literally cost a few bucks. If you have NO speedo gear , then by a universal speedo recalibration unit from 12 o'clock labs ( 80 bucks ) . And wire it into your harness. Both options are crazy simple.

[@kkim1177]

@@immelting9834 thank you. Just slapped 35s on. Next step recalibrate speedo

[@Knight_JLU]

You can change the gear ratio in your flash tool as well to keep your speedometer on without messing with tire size. You want the tire size to be accurate to make sure your mileage is reading correctly. So if you have 35s that measure to 34 1/2 you wanna have it set to that and set your gear ratio in the flash to 4.88

[@Winch_Offroad]

You can, but its still off.. i need to change the speedo gear in the transmission.

[@garygrinkevich6971]

Very cool ive been planning to save up for awhile now to do rebuild with E lockers and 4.88 gears its definetly worth it to do it all at the same time rather than rebuild it down the road, i replaced the tracloc gears in the dana35 a few years ago and thought "next time is the last time".

[@Winch_Offroad]

Worth every dime

[@hammerfistfightclub]

For the 2.5 crowd with manual trans.. that motor doesn't come alive untill 3000rpm and is good up to 4500rpm.. so 4:88 on a ax5 or ax15..2.5 l will run 2800rpm with true 35s...and will be able to hit 80 mph

[@Winch_Offroad]

100%

[@Longslyde1]

They put a lot of work into those to run the highway at 80+ mph on break in (Especially 4.88, it's harder on the pinion (spins faster) the higher numerically you go) .....Just sayin.... you'll prolly be fine but the gears we're prolly sayin' "REALLY!?, this is how its gonna go?....I'll TRY to hang in there!"

[@dolarmangr]

Nice video and good job 👏

[@Winch_Offroad]

Thanks so much

[@lohinacooks508]

Hats off to them

[@Winch_Offroad]

They do great work.

[@Ken-qq6gp]

4.56 with 35s is the perfect ratio. Why 488 ?

[@Winch_Offroad]

Because the company loves sucking money from me!

[@trevordean4748]

Great update

[@richardticer]

Do you have auto or manual? The charts I've seen recommend 5.13 or 5.38 for automatics. Is there a reason you chose 4.88 over other gears?

[@Winch_Offroad]

Mine is auto, and I went 4.88 for two reasons, I drive my Jeep a lot, I mean A LOT...and second I was going to stay with 35's. I wish I went 5.13 because my Jeep is heavy. I want to do a video on the weight and why it's important.

[@richardticer]

@@Winch_Offroad thanks for the reply, that would be great. I hope to upgrade to 5.13s aswell.

[@user-vm3fm1cp8s]

@@richardticer I want to do 5.38 on 35”. I used to ride motorcycles and always loved taking off from pulls so I’m wondering if I’ll get the same feeling!?

[@TheMonzonfamilyadventures]

How much did it cost to get the regearing done ?

[@Winch_Offroad]

It was like 3k

[@hammerfistfightclub]

It's about 800 in labor only per axle. The mechanic will thank u if u replace all the parts except the housing.. not cuz ur buying his parts but because he isn't pressing bearings off..then putting em on ect.. replace it all..like the guy said before ..it's around 3k for parts and labor..

[@00corin00]

I was told that 4.88 with 35s will kill your tip end speed. I live in California where everyone does 80mph on the freeway. Would a 2017 jeep JK sport be able to cruise at 80mph with 4.88 on 35s?

[@Winch_Offroad]

Yes...I have a 2011 and live in Wyoming at about 5,600 feet elevation and do 80mph with no problems. Your 2017 has a better engine than my 2011. Now i do have a Flash Paq for my Jeep. I run at about 2,300 rpms and the auto transmission shifts at like 3,300 rpms.

[@00corin00]

Any time

[@hdj82rican0214]

I been thinking for a long time and been undecided if to go 4.88 or 5.13.. I have a 14’ jku with 3.5” lift n 35s... Is my daily driver.. will u recommend 4.88 like u did or u think 5.13 will be the way?

[@Winch_Offroad]

If you're staying 35s yes 4.88 but if you ever plan to go up to 37s then just go 5.13

[@arthurc1971]

I have a jeep yj, 4 cyl, with Dana 35’s. I believe my gears are 4.10, can I regear to 4.88 or am I limited to 4.56? Thanks!

[@Winch_Offroad]

YJs ran from 1986-1995 i believe...Check to see, but you should have dana 30 front and dana 35 rear and if that is the case you should be able to do 4.88s. I know you can in a 94 YJ... I hope that helped.

[@arthurc1971]

@@Winch_Offroad Thank you, yes, I have a 1995 with 4.10 gears. I put newer rims from a 2015 Jeep and 33’s. Going up a hill at highway speed is a challenge and a small trailer with very little weight kills the engine if you shift from 3rd to 4th. Great video.

[@edm163]

My 2021 6MT Willys Sport (all stock) has a noticeable 3rd gear ~ 2800-3000 RPM clutch slip or hiccup/hesitation feeling. Does 4.88 gear eliminate that hesitation/hiccup blip? I’m prob getting 35” tires & 2” lift, mild forest roads off roading. Thanks for your input.

[@Winch_Offroad]

Would be perfect

[@davidc310]

I'm new the jeep community but I was planning on buying a JL with MT and a 4.88 gear ratio because I plan on switching to 35 as soon as I get it or should I stay with the 4.10 gear axel ratio?

Going to 4.88 had little play on my MPG, left then 1 MPG difference.

[@Colorado4x4]

Thanks! Pretty similar driving conditions? So you lost 1 MPG? I’m trying to figure out what to do with mine. I’ve got 35s like you. Would love for the Jeep to do better on the big mountains on the highway but don’t want to lose a bunch of fuel economy.

2013 Jeep Jk 35in tires installed 4.88 gears, it’s been about two weeks and I’m at 2900rpms at 70mph is this normal? I can accelerate much better now and I can climb up highways without feeling like a slug now, but the Rpms? Seems high no?

[@Winch_Offroad]

I run about 2200-2400 rpms at 70mph...I asked my mechanic and he said over 3k is bad. I also have a fashpaq for my jeep and I think that helps too.

[@stevenjwebber]

2013 has updated motor and trans from Jacked 2 jeeps setup which is the 3.8 motor. The 3.6 motor in your jeep doesn't need as much gear. A 4.88 gear set with a 3.6 and 35's which are probably 34.25" (new) will be about 2800 rpms. (Measure on the jeep, ground to axle, multiplied by 2) if RPM's are really 2900, you might have really worn tires or a slipping torque convertor. At any rate, 4.88 is too much gear for 35s on that motor unless your build is mainly off road and no freeway driving. think about getting much larger tires or get those gears dropped down to 4.10. at the most 4.56. Very surprised the shop that installed those didn't bring that up? they should know better.
