preffered gear ratio choice

[mlw20lu]

i know theres all the calculators and junk to tell me what gears i show be using but that dont mena jack. i wonna hear from real people... I have an 01 3.0 manual with a 7.5 and 3.73's. currently sittin on 32's and its not too bad. im eventually graduating to 35's and i want opinions on what gear ration to install. 95% of my driving is anywhere from 50-75 mph. always cruisin speeds. whats everyone thing?

5.13 is best overall.

I would suggest swapping the 7.5 for a 8.8 though. The 7.5 pinion gear gets pretty small at that ratio (plus 35s puts a lot of demand on it too).

with the 3.0L and 35s definitly run a 5.13 gear. It will get you the best power and mileage with the weight and size of the 35s.
