Here's a good thread on gear choice for all you lifted blazers...
It goes over 35 inch tires thoroughly which is what most guys here are running so I thought it would be useful for some.

Re: Here's a good thread on gear choice for all you lifted blazers...
The entire thread is mostly about everyone's own opinion and what their currently running.
I skipped a couple pages so maybe there's some hard evidence in the thread somewhere but until I see a gear chart w/ tire size and motor RPM's in each gear it's all just speculation and personnel preference. Research is understanding and understanding makes better choices available.

Re: Here's a good thread on gear choice for all you lifted blazers...
True, some of those guys are running 4.88's and one guy said 5.13's!!! I just posted it to give a general idea of some people's impressions of different gear ratios with 35 inch tires, not necessarily a guideline.

Re: Here's a good thread on gear choice for all you lifted blazers...
I have 3:73's,rebuilt axles,locked,36x12.50-17LT TSL SX's.
350/700r4 Trans has a low 1st gear so i don't need any lower gears,and it's getting a 383 this winter.
