The GU6 show's that you've got 3.42 gearing in your diffs... However, you have an open diff, so you'll probably be doing a lot of spinning...

They're kind of a mid-range gear... Fairly decent acceleration, while still getting good mileage, due to lower RPM's on the highway... I wouldn't worry too much about the gears until you either, go to get deep into the 1/4 mile, or get into 34" or larger tires... Personal preference might make you want to switch to 3.73's with the larger tires, or possibly even 4.10s... Even with the 30" tires, I can still squawk the tires shifting into 2nd gear, on clean, dry pavement... I wouldn't reccomend gears any higher than 3.73's if it's a daily driver, unless you switch to 32" or larger tires... I don't plan on changing my gearing, because I plan on dropping in a V8, so I'll have the oomph to turn the tires... since I also plan on eventually getting a 6" lift, 2" body lift, and running 34s... or possibly modding it even further for 35s or the ever elusive 38" ers, lol. For 4x4ing with 32" or less tires, I don't think you'll have a problem turning them at all... At least, nothing that 4lo won't fix, lol.

Instead of changing the gearing, I'd start hunting for a locking rear diff... You can get a mini-spool for fairly cheap, but then, that's full lock, all the time... Not good for a DD... I'm personally saving up for an Auburn ECTED locker... A nice limited-slip locker... Which, unless you have the 8.5" rear diff, you can't get, lol...

Yea i find my gears to be ok for now, its my suspension and tires that are killing me. I got caught high center and had to have a jeep pull me out. It sucked.

Should've gone faster! lol j/k. Pretty much any vehicle is in danger of being high-centered... Aside from bigger tires and lift, the only real way to prevent it is skid plates and hope, or a heavier foot, lol... I should really get a skid plate fabbed up one of these days...

Well my tires were about 3 inches from the ground. A lift and bigger tires would have helped ALOT. Remember I'm running BFG Radials :)
