What about it

[maltby101 [OP]]

Is freeway dirving a pain with 5.29's with the rpm's or is just about the same as the set up i have now.

[junya92toy]

Its fine, I have a 92 3.0 35s and 529s, at 60mph i turn 2750 rpms

Oh ya thats not bad at all mine will probably higher cause i have a 22r but shouldnt be terrible. Thanks for the help man.

5.29 and 35's would be about 100rpm's higher than the stock set up of 4.10's and 28's.

If you want to see the difference in engine speed of different tire/gear combo's, the calculators here at  Auto Calculators and Marlin's Transmission Gear chart will give you the trans gears.

I like my 5.29s on the freeway. Let's my 22R pull hills and run great at about 75 or 80 mph. I wouldn't change them for nothing else.

you might be able to use 5th gear.   I have 5.29's and 35's and rarely use 5th. only on the interstate.
