With 36's, you should be running 5.29's, I believe

I got 5:29's and 35's. I like the gearing. just gotta shift sooner than you do with 4:10's to keep the mpg low. I used to have 4:10's it was a big step you will know a difference for sure. And with 36"s should feel pretty good. I'm glad i did'nt get 4:88's or anything

5.29's or 5.71's if you think you will go bigger.

The higher RPMs will actually HELP your gas mileage because you won't have your foot on the floor all the time.

i think im going to run 4.88 because i run 75 80mph up the interstate just want to use 5th alil better

LOL - then why ask for people's advice?

One gear step (4.56 to 4.88 or 4.88 to 5.29) increases the RPM's by about 250 if everything else is the same. To efficiently cruise, you need to be at 3000 RPM.

im just scared 5.29 will be way to much ya know what i mean i just want yalls input im taking it all in consideration

4.88's, and you'll still will have a hell of a time trying to run in 5th. 5.29's if your gonna stay with the 36's.

yea i dont plan on going bigger im prob going smaller just one size i want 35's but i may wait till i get tires and after i get done with the turbo and see how it pulls then before i decide

Then the 5.29'S are your best bet
