Re: ReGearing Questions - Noobie

Just a thought, but if you are going to regear both axles and buy new tires, you might look into swapping in some 3/4 ton or 1 ton axles. Add up the costs. I've done both. You're just going to be into your 10 bolts for some pretty decent coin. With 4.11 @ 55 mph and 35" tires you'll be at just over 1500 rpm in overdrive. 4.56 would put you at just under 1700. That 700r4 has a nice low first and second gear and I think you'd be happy with either. Remember you need installation kits too!
