I dont have a 2012 
but just out of curriousity could you give us some specs of the new 4.88's...just wanna keep my knowledge base on the new engine trans combo. I know there are "gear sheets" for this, but nothing like real life numbers.
What are your rpm's @ 55, 65, and 75/80 mph while in OD, and not accelerating, on level ground/highway? What size tire are you running and any other aftermarket engine parts/tunes? Thanks

What transmission do you have? Manuel or 3spd / 4spd automatic? I have the same setup 35", 4.88 and a 3spd automatic. 3k @ 60mph. Great climbing, Highway
Have a 5 speed auto 2012
Hi Tintman. FYI, My 5160s were installed very similar to yours (resi rear of the main shock tube). With my 35x12.5x17 BFG KM2s at full turn the tire could rub the reservoir and turn it. If it turns enough, the fitting would hit the shock tower and crack (Two separate problems). Today, my resi is mounted towards the front of the jeep (resting against the coil mount) so the tire can't rub against it.
