Re: what gears for 35"s ?

I chose 5.29 with 35" tires.  That way, I'll have the right gears when step up to the 37's.

If I had to do it over though, I'd be tempted to go with the stronger 4.88 gears.  My more recent modifications include a 190 hp V6, auto tranny, and ultimate dual crawler on my daily driver.  The power and the auto make the 5.29s somewhat unnnecessary and it would be nice to drop the RPMs even further on the freeway for the commute.

If it never breaks, people can only speculate how much it was overbuilt.
