Recently lifted my truck and threw on some 35's. Just want to hear from some of you that have regeared and what gears you went with. I've done the math but i want some personal opinions. Thanks!

personally I would leave it, it has plenty of power to turn em but if your do get them I would just do a 4.10 the higher you go the more you cut off your top speed

Well I regeared mine with 4.56's and i really like it. I'm running 35's now and plan on goin to 36's in the spring. My truck stills runs up to 95 or 97mph (whatever it is) if i need too and I don't think I'd like to go any faster with 35" mud tires anyway. I don't care what anyone says. You put larger tires on your truck and you feel a power loss. Why start adding alot more power to compensate and put that much more stress on your drivetrain? Regear and do it the right way.

the right way is a matter is a matter of opinion and most people feel its less stressful to have engine turning much less rpm....
power is not an issue...my truck was equally fast with the 35's and 31's have i have now i just have the high revs i get on the highway

4.10's ONLY, 4.56 With way bigger tires like 40's maybe. You can just leave it alone. Their is only about 250-300 rpms that you are going to gain from what you have now to 4.10.
