4.88's to low?
I am looking into ordering this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHRYS...Q5fAccessories
i am running a 2.5L 4sp w/ 33x12.50's
will my jeep even make it up to highway speeds with 4.88's?
I really need to look into finding an ax5 and np231 I suppose.

This chart is based on 65 MPH and a gear ratio of 1:1, on a manual transmission in 4th gear. Please NOTE: If you have an automatic transmission your RPM will higher due to slippage in the transmission and the torque converter. With an overdrive transmission your RPM in overdrive will be 15% to 30% less than indicated.
this should show you where you wont to be at.

That is a great price for the gears and the master install kit. With a four speed you'll be turning a lot of rpms even with 33s, but if your already looking for a five speed I say go for it that will be a hell of a hard deal to beat.
