5th gear has no power. I was in 5th cruising 65 when I hit a bridge. I was going 60 by the time I hit the top and my foot was planted to the floor. Accelerating from 60 to 70 in 5th takes about 20 minutes. So I just leave it in 4th and ~2300 rpms

Put at least 4.56's(best would be 4.88's) in the diffs and you will be able to use 5th gear and get better mpg's for 35" tires in your TJ.Call me crazy but it will work plus you will have more pep in town also.Just because your spinning more rpm's does not mean your wasting more gas.
