Yes, BOTH
And I agree with you, while I am shy of the 33x12.5 - This past weekend, we obviously wheeled our Jeeps. Being one of but a VERY few of 3.7L's with 285's or larger, I found that my performance made the 3.7L more capable of handling these tires while wheeling. Like It honestly felt no different than when I wheeled my 4.0HO with the 33X12.5's.
You dont have any trouble with hill climbs and getting the tires to spin? When we were at RC coming out of Lake Christy, my buddy couldnt make it up any of the hill climbs because he just didnt have enough power (or gears) to get the tires spinning. Same thing when he tried pulling out my brother when he got stuck in his ZR2.

When it's dry AJ has issues with hills so does Toby they over heat the trans and have to stop and sometimes if they don't have momentum they can't make the hill. I think the mud helped them with allowing them to spin putting them further in the power band. Either one of those gears would help but the QT2 is the key part.

Yeah, the mud probably helped. But also, Sal, I was wheeling with the ESP entirely functional, this was always killing torque and momentum. Also, last summer my fans would refuse to come on to keep engine and tranny at low temps. Programmer resolved that. It's not a perfect set-up, but its a working one. I would not dream of trying towing someone out, lol - not the way im loaded.
But, of course gears and xcase swap will definitely Improve things A LOT.

Bolted up the mopar skid from Knappster - well 3 bolts. She was a little bent. Im going to get a longer bolt and screw it in and bend it back into place.
See my garage for more pictures.
