Default Anyone running a 4.0/AW4 with 3.07 gears?

Considering the great low-end on the 4.0, I think a stock XJ with 3.55 could handle a drop to 3.07. (?) I wonder if there's enough gain in MPG to justify the cost of changing.

Anyone running this and willing to share MPG and comments?

It might work but you could end up putting a lot more strain on your trans and torque converter.

Automatic needs taller gears ,mpgs would most likely suffer
