Gear Swap to 4.10

[jschenck]

What would be the pro's and con's of swapping the gears from the 3.73's to the 4.10's?

My jeep is 2wd, so i'd only be doing one axle. I have stock tire size and no lift.

No reason to change if you're sticking with stock sized tires.

Well, I'm going to be towing travel trailers, etc. and I'm just curious if there are any benefits with 4.10's for towing.

More low end power , well more power at lower speeds, may not be able to run 95-100 MPH any more

I don't have a reason to run 95-100 anyways. I tend to stick to marked speeds.

Would I see any change in MPG? Would my ODO readings/MPH readings become inaccurate?

Re-gearing will add some towing capacity for sure.

Increased mpg's towing and city mpg's,worse mpg's slightly at highway speeds when not towing with stock tires.The ODO will not read any different as it only changes when larger tires are added and not gears.

Well, I tend to do mostly city driving anyways, and will typically only drive hwy if i'm towing.

Where is a good source for all the parts to do this?
