    any body running 4.88s with something smaller than 35s? the 295/70/17 are practically a 33.5 inch tire, hoping to go 35 one day nut dont have the money or the time to get them to stuff, i can deal with a little cutting for the 295.
    looking to get an assembled 3rd member with locker but need to know what gearing! any input?
    thanks tw!

    was thinking of 4.88 for future plans but for now the 295 will be on, just need to know if i am totally screwing myself by going with that gear ratio!

    I have 4.88 with 255/85 and they are pretty low. Around town with all my extra weight I enjoy the grunt. Highway sucks turning around 3000rpm 65 is about 2500 so thats where I try to stay.
