4.88 or ??? for gear swap in Gladiator?

[Ken S]

Which gears are you running if you have 37" Mud terrain tires on your Gladiator? Will 4.88 be enough?

4.88's will be plenty

 

[Ken S]

is that what you are running? I’m getting quoted $1850 for the install. Good deal?

 

[Marion Carter]

We were quoted $1934 for a gear swap, done in the same day. So $1850 seems like a fair price.

Thats about right for a good gear swap. 4.88's will be plenty. Are you towing with it?

So, I forgot all about this thread. I ended up going with it. These gears WOKE this truck up. Super happy with the install. The trucks acceleration feels closer to what it did when I first got it. MPG is a bit in the toilet, but I'm OK with that for a trade off.

I have the 4.88's in my 2020 Gladiator, and I'm running 35's. Personally I still think this motor is WAY to small for this truck. I'll be adding a magnuson blower to this shortly. When you are towing a trailer, even something small, the stock motor really dogs on mountain roads.

Agree, way under powered. Would be nice to have an extra 75 ponies!

Alex, just watched that last video about Jeep offering 4.88s, when does that take into effect?
