gears for tires?

[Redranger89]

I have a 4'' susp. lift and i am getting a 3'' body lift. i want to get 35x12.50's. i currently have 3.73 gears. am i ok to stay with those or should i go to 4.10's. and also those tires will be ok on 15x8 wheels right?

With 35" tires you should run 4.56:1 if you spend a lot of time on the street. Install 4.88:1 gears for performance. If I were you, I would be leaning toward the 4.88:1 gears. 35" tires add rotating mass and weight and the lift will create more wind resistance so its good to give the engine a little extra leverage.

Yeup, you'll be wanting 4.56's or better

i have 35's and im thinking of going to something like 5:13's. my truck is SUPER slow with stock gearing.

and yeah im running 15x8 wheels with 35x12.5x15 tires. it looks good and they wear even.

Agreed, go 4.88.
