noobie from AZ
Just introducing myself. I have a '76 suburban with a 4" suspension and a 2" body lift. Painted it myself with 9 rattle cans. I have 35" tires on it, but my gearing is way too high now with the bigger tires. What's the best way to get some better gearing back? thanks in advance for the help.

Re: noobie from AZ
Thanks for the welcome guys. Smaller tires are not an option, so do any of you have a good suggestion for new gear ratios? Somebody who runs 35's, and has found a good combination for in the mud and towing a trailer on the highway?
