what gearing do i get?

pretty new to this but i have had my 94 runner for about a year now. it has a stock 3.0 in it and i recently purchased a solid front axle out of an 85 runner for a swap. i also just ordered 5:29 gears, a detroit locker for the rear diff and an arb air locker for the front. its going to be sitting on 35 inch bfg m/t. needless to say i am starting to second guess the 5:29s thinking they might be to low. does anyone think otherwise? oh and it is not my every day driver so it will prolly never see the highway.

+1 on 5.29 for a manual shift. for an auto like 5.71.

if you think 5.29s will be too low, i'll trade you your 5.29 3rd for some 4.10 3rds i have laying around...
