Default A question for anyone running 35"s

If you are running 35" tires, what gearing do you have in your diffs?

What axles are you running?

I am in the planning stages of my life and am just trying to get stuff together before I find out that I need something I don't have.

4.56 will get you to stock ratio and 4.88 will give you more torque at the wheel. For 35's id want at least a 8.25 29 spline in the rear and upgrade axle shafts in the Dana 30 up front. Ive seen someone on here run 37's on a dana 35 with 4.88 gears but i dont know if he got better axle shafts or not.

3.50, 9" and Dana 44. This is on a stick shift tranny.

However, most people, especially with automatics, go 4.88s with 35s and love it. Even though I am running unheard of 3.50's, I'd say go 4.56 or 4.88

I run 4.88's with 35's. Still feels dog slow, but can sorta keep up with interstate traffic at 70+
