Good job Ryan!

I'm glad I listened to your video I have a 2021 JL sport I am currently running 33s on it and I want to go to 35 some people tell me I don't have to re-gear and some people tell me I do. What's your professional opinion on that?

Good info

Really good Dirt2Dust episode. Justin’s story is interesting. Yeah, I don’t trust the cheap Amazon/Chinese gear.

Time for me to come back to G’boro for some upgrades.

How do i fit a 15,16inch rim on a jk

Would u recommend the Barnes4wd Aluminum tie rod?

It works but you don’t need it. WTF

Wow, this guy should be a blue politician.

Hello I have a 2019 wrangler sahara 3.6L stock diff 3.5 lift and 37's what would you recommend I re-gear to

yeah lets talk about this. i just found out my last trip out i yanked the shaft right out of front shock Teraflex 2.5 lift w/9550 VSS shocks. maybe they sent the wrong shocks?

Good times!

Putting together a 84 CJ with AMC 401 T-176 and Dana 300. Dana 60 rear. 37” tires. Not a wheeler, just personal preference. What do you recommend for gear ratio.

my jeep currently has offset balljoints but needs to be replaced because of play. (installed from previous owner, mostly likely bent Cs). Ive noticed that offset balljoints come in various degrees of camber. How can i find out which one to buy or is there any other solution to this?

Common sense..thanks

How to know what gear ratio I have on my wrangler..

F150 GMC SIERRA TAKES BUMPS VERY BAD

Very informational, Thx! I do have a question on your statement that the upper rear control arm (adjustable) is the 2nd most important ones to replace. Can you expand on that a bit since it would seem logical that the lower rear is the one that pushes the axle backwards to both re-center it in the wheel well and restore wheelbase. Thx!

You said never put dual stabilizers on but you didn't give any specific reasons why.

Rust Country, was on my Jeep for a week before I pulled it off and threw it in the garbage, replaced with a RockSport (Metalcloak) which is 1000% better, for not much more of a cost.

You provided no hard evidence other than you saying they dont do anything. Seems like they work well for many people. So even if all they do is help reduce wear and extend the life of all your steering joints, why are they bad? Seems like your evidence is pretty subjective. Even if they just help dampen steering, how is that bad? You really didn't make much of a case against them except "steering stabilizers are a waste of money cause i said they dont do anything but dampen steering, so dont buy them and waste money." Was really hoping this would be an informative video with some sort of hard results or scientific test. Turns out it's more of an opinion peice.

"When aired down." Most important phrase in this entire video. If you aren't a guy who is so hard-core offroad that you bring along all the tools required to air down when you get to whatever road or trail that requires that sort of alteration to your rig, then MORE tire sidewall really doesn't make that much difference. Don't believe me? Look up tire tests regarding a 20" wheel versus a 17" wheel, but BOTH with a 33" tire, and BOTH with 35 psi (most common pressure for everyday use). You will see that if you leave the 35 psi, the tire deflection over obstacles is so similar between the two tire sidewalls that there isn't a clear reason to go 17" versus 20". In fact, that extra inch and a half really makes zero difference offroad UNLESS you air down. I personally don't know anyone that takes the time to air down if they are just headed to a remote lake or hunting spot off the highway. Bottom line; if you have a true hard-core offroad rig like a rock crawler Jeep that you air down for the day, more sidewall makes sense, so you can utilize that extra inch of rubber. But, if you are the other 90% who have a daily driver that sees occasional off-highway use and don't want to mess with the hassles of running 9 psi only to have to put 35 back in for the ride home, the practical difference is so minimal that esthetics should be more important. In which case 20's wins every time imo.

Sounds really great! Can you still control the exhaust sound open/closed from the vehicle button?

How important is it to upgrade your steering if you only drive around in the city? I have lifted my '09 Wrangler to be able to have 35's on her. Long story why I don't offroad, but do I need to beef up the steering from the OEM?

What gearing do I need to buy and have put on front and rear of a 2015 jk Sahara ultimate with auto transmission that is running 35” tires for the purpose of commuting (surface roads and interstate) and the occasional towing of a small trailer?

@The Outlaw Offroad This Jeep is incredible! Is there a build video showing what's all gone into building it?

Maybe you can help me, Im finding alot of misinformation on the interwebs. I recently got a sweet deal on a 2012 Jk sahara with a 3.6 , 6 speed manual on 35s. I believe it has 3.73s in it but not positive. It never sees 6th gear. The guy I got it from threw in a set of Yukon 5.13s front and rear with install kits on the deal but they were never installed. My question is are 5.13s going to be a little much? the jeep will see about 60% Montana highway and 40% steep mountains. Itll see some ATV trailer towing but not much weight. It is also highly doubtful of going to a bigger tire. Ive run many a jeep with 4.56 and 4.88s with 35-38 inch tires but theyve always been trailer queens or beaters that never saw the highway. This one is different especially with a 6 speed. You seem to have the info I need before I dump a ton of money into putting the wrong gears in and end up divorced because of it. lol

What is your recommendation for a 2019 JLU 3.6L with 35’s but want to eventually move to 37’s? A mixture of road and off road if in the Rockies at altitudes.

Ima come check yall for re-gearing

Were you ever a CRDJ dealer tech? I am and this is stuff we rarely deal with but I need to learn. Not just the tire info but the whole aftermarket upgrade market.

Stop talking so much and get to the point smh

Thank you for how you care for the four wheel drive community gladiator sport with a towing package not Max tow pack looking to pull trailer haul camper unit on top and on the road and medium rock climbing which one of the rear ends are best for me 513 or 488 can you help me in this matter 37 inch tires in a lift p look forward to hearing back from you thanks

95% dont

U r not correct...my 86 chevy had 1...went bad...and u were all over the place!!! There was nothing wrong anywhere and it was new...on my 89 f150 it gets rid of most of that twin eyebeam bs...

think 32 in tires are good for 3.45 8speed got the 3.6 in there daily drivers// beach use

All of these guys they can flex on the ramp. They need to checkout the you tube video of a stock Ford Model T flexing on a ramp. Puts these guys to shame.

Whats a "shift point". BTW I have manual trans....

89 yj wrangler 4.2 early ax15 with 35s should I go 456 or 488? It's for road and trails

Been using a steering stabilizer, a dual one longer you’ve been sucking air

But they look super cool…so I want one hehe

If someone wanted to run 40" tall tires would 4.90 gears be okay? Ouverson offers 4.90 gears for the Rockwell 2.5 ton axles. (I do not know if anyone else offers other gear ratios for Rockwell axles). While 4.90 gears might still not be enough for 40's but it is still much better than the factory 6.72 gears. Especially if the vehicle is going to see very much highway or daily driving use. Thanks in advance for any and all advice, opinions, or answers. Regards

2020 ram 2500 power wagon running 315/50r22 going to go to 37x15.5r22 in next year or so. Truck about 9800lbs with bumpers an crap idea on a good or better gear over the 4.10

Thanks for this info bro!! Makes a whole lot of sense when going up a hill and I have to down shift a couple times just to get over the hill!! 🤙🏻

I have a question, I have a 1998 jeep zj with a 1m5 inch lift and I'm running 31's, I want to run 33's so I'm going to 4.88 gearing, but would I need a certain type of locker to that type of gearing or what?

2018 JK 2 door, 5 spd autostick, 3.6 motor, 3.21 stock gears. 315/70r17E's, in four low crawling I rarely need the skinny pedal, on the highway I rarely see 5th gear, 😂, oh sport, considering a UD44 up front, 3.5" game changer, lots of armor and a total belly skid, doubt I will ever go bigger than 35's, been thinking 4.56, but sometimes I think 4.88 or 5.13

I have a 2013 automatic on 37s and just put 4.88 but driving on the freeway my RPMs get pretty high 4.88 would not performed the same way on high-speed?

Are there beadlocks that can be driven on the highway? I plan to build up my rig and I am not going to trailer it. Do I need to have two sets of wheels and tires?

Great video.. one question i had was 06 TJ 4" suspension lift approximately 33" tires.. why are you so against the dual stabilizer and wouldn't the dual help stabilize better between the lift and oversized tires?

Do they not help you track better with a set of bigger tires ?
