I am working on a tight college budget but am looking at getting 33's to go with my 6 inch lift(pictures coming soon) and i have been seeing on here that it is easier and more cost effective to regear rather then put in a new engine, transmition and axles. I was just wondering where I could find a descent middle of the road regear kit or if anyone knew where i could find a good write up on one. My jeep is mostly a DD but would like to go offroad every once in awhile so i don't know what i should gear it either any suggestions?

Manual or auto trans? For auto you will want either 4.56 or 4.88. For the manual, probably 4.10 or 4.56.

In a manual the 4.10's will most likely bring you back closest to stock, but the 4.56's will give you a little more power. Not sure of the difference in MPG's as mine is an auto.

For gears, I'd go with Superior, Yukon, or Alloy USA.

Man I would never waste the money on 4.56, If u decide to do a bigger tire it could still suck, the 4.88 will be there no matter what.
