Re: 400 vs 700 trans

What gears do you have? And what is your cruising highway rpm? Those tall tires are going to calm your gear ratio down quite a bit, and if your not screaming on the highway it might not help much. Though I believe -and please someone correct me if I'm wrong - the 700 has a numerically higher 1st gear which would help you from a stop since you'd need less throttle to get moving.

Not sure what jeeps come with gearing wise, but a 3.55 combined with 38's would put you right at 2,000rpm at 65. Which is pretty good.
