hmmmm, i was thinking 4:10 would work pretty well for the v8. i am running the stock 3:73's with some seriously heavy 33's on 20inch rims and it doesnt do too bad, doesnt even shift down that often....but it is the HO if that makes much difference.

i am seriously looking at taking my wj up there and doing this swap, i think my jeep would be a blast with 4:10's plus i wouldnt worry as much offroad.

when you look at 33's vs 35's......i am assuming you loose quite a bit of articulation from the longer bumpstops you would run with the 35's. wouldnt more flex with 33's allow you to worm thru more areas than 35's with less flex?????

You run longer shocks to make up for the longer bump stops, longer shocks = more travel, more travel = more flex. Bump stops = good if used properly.

What kind of MPG do you get with the 3.73's and the 33's? 4.10's will help mpg aswell right?

with my 4.7 V8 I was getting 11-12 MPG average with 33"s on 3.73's, highway was 14ish.
