Swapping gears makes your transmission last longer, and you won't be able to make up the torque difference lost to those tires just with bolt-on engine mods.

With stock gears those tires are loosing you about 50HP. The add ons, at best, will gain you 15.

If you do go with the regear option. You may want to think about tire size you plan on running in the future. Changing gears is not cheap especially if you pay someone to do it.

i have the 4.0 with no bolt ons, and i run a 11" lift with 35x12.50's bfgoodrich all-terrains. stock gears, and i dont feel much power loss. although i did buy a set of 4:56's, and there is a huge difference
go with re-gearing. oh, and a throttle body spacer doesnt do shit. not worth the money.

Wow this is frickin funny.
Can we move it to the den so I can speak my mind... :lecture:
almost everyone is right.
Your jeep will last longer with gears.
your jeep will wheel better with gears. because rock crawling is all about "crawling". that means going slow. That means having really low gears.
having 32's and stock gearing is like starting from a stop in 2nd gear and having another gear above overdrive. you know, that whole jumping in and out of OD while on the freeway.
