    oh yeah :eek:. i'm cruising somewhere in the neighborhood or 1700 rpm at 70 mph lol

    after getting the tires on, 4.56 is 100% the way to go for 35s. anyone who says 4.88s for 35s is either nuts, or spends 95% of their time off road.

    did you ever tow with the 37s/4.88s? not talking about a little wheeling or landscape trailer, but a sizeable boat....

    that's kinda my determining factor for gearing.

    I'm running 4.88's with 33's... haha. They are about half tread or so now so I'm running about 2700rpm at 75mph. For an auto I think 4.88's are a great way to go! Still pull about 17 mpg doing 75 on the freeway even pushing 6000lbs on the scale. For a manual I wouldn't even recommend 4.56's for 33's though I don't think.

    Tires look sick though!:jellydance: I can't wait til I can upgrade!
