35-37" tires you will want 5.13 gears.

100% agreed.

and if im going for best mpg go 5.13 but say im going power would i run 4.56

With 35" tires you might go 4.88 if you'll be on the highway a lot, but with 37s, 5.13 is the gear to have.

 

[xgenralxleex01x]

no im not going to be on the highway much anymore so 4.56?

Edit:
I think you might have it backwards, the higher the number (5.13) the faster your engine will spin.

4.56 will turn your truck into a total dog, period.

whats up scott is mike from west orange, anyways 5.13s are the way to go, the higher the numerical number the lower the gear ratio, 4.88s woud be best if you do any highway driving but if not then 5.13s will get you where you should be
