Can someone tell me if there are any cons to over-gearing for better power/acceleration? I know I will take a hit on the mpgs but at this point in my life going faster is more important that a couple bucks.
I am running the ome 1.5 lift with 235/75/16 tires.
Depending on where you live you may not take a " hit " on gas mileage.
If you have any hills etc at all then it would actually pull better without dropping down and changing the gear to a lower one to get up the hill.
Plus you have a Jeep, its not a fast vehicle, never was meant to be, never will be, well except if you go to 4.10s with stock height tires, taking off from a stop light will be way quicker.
As far as top speed will still be the same just running a few hundred RPM more
