Greetings, I'm about to switch out my gears for 4.88's or 5.29's. I have a 22RE and am currently running 33" Toyo MT's. I plan on likely running 35's next time I buy tires(about a year from now...maybe longer, these toyos are friggin awesome). My question is for peeps who have a similar setup to mine. At highway speeds, about what RPM (in 5th gear) would I be running with:
4.88's w/33" tires:
4.88's w/35" tires:
5.29's w/33" tires:
5.29's w/35" tires:

Among the reasons I am asking, is that this truck is my daily driver until I finish my car, and I want to be able to estimate my power-band and MPG and deduce which setup is going to be best for my usage. The engine is pretty much stock(im slowly building a performance/race engine for backup, but for now just have intake/exhaust on this current powerplant).

Thanks for your insight.

4.88's w/33" tires: 2322.9
4.88's w/35" tires: 2190.1
5.29's w/33" tires: 2518.0
5.29's w/35" tires: 2374.2

This assumes 5th is .85:1 (Mine is), and @ 55mph

Running 5.29 gears on 33x10.50 BFG tires at 35 psi. At 65 MPH, 5th gear, my RPMs are just about exactly 3000.
