you guys are scare'n me. i got 4.88 after talking to one of the guys at allpro. i havent ran the gears with 35's yet but it seams like every one is all for 5.29's.
to late for me. 

I guess that's another, "It depends on who you ask" kind of question and what you want.  Some people want the extra performance of the lower gears, while some want to cut back on wear and tear on the engine by reducing rpms over the long run.  I was going to go 4:88's, but now that it's not a daily I am leaning towards the 5:29s.

I can't find the other thread that talks about this.  here somewhere.
 

do i need gears for 35's or is it just recommended. what ratio do i need?

But yes you definatly need to change it!!
