What type of Jeep and what gearing do you have right now? Engine size is good to know to.

I did get it, that's why I pointed out that if you want info you need to provide a bit more info of what exactly you want to know so we can answer properly. Wasn't trying to brush you off, just don't want to tell you something that's wrong.
