Hey guys, looking into doing a much needed gear swap in the jku, 3.8L auto with stock 3:73's, on 35's. While I wrestle with the decision of which ratio to go with, I need to find a good shop in southeast Louisiana, possibly southwest Mississippi.

Also, I've seen all the charts, but would like to hear some real world numbers from guys with 4:88's and 5:13's. Thanks in advance.

If your by Baton Rouge there is Searchers 4X4, I've known him for years and does great work, tell Phil(owner) that Chet sent you...good luck

He is actually located in Prairieville, right next to Baton Rouge

If you want it awesome offroad, 5.13. If it mostly pounds pavement, 4.88.

If you are closer to NOLA, go see Steve at Steves 4wd. He is the only one in the area I trust with gears.

I'm between both, not much farther to Nola. I'll check him out, thanks.
