You could have found all of this with some simple searching.

you need 5.29's

4.10 gears are stock for 28" tires!

4.11s for 36"s? And the PO had them put in? Either he is wrong about the ratio, or he got kicked in the head by a mule.

i belive it had new gears because you can see the permatic lol also i know he was wrong about the 4.11s bcause this truck pulls the 35s without effort. its also nothing to start out in second gear it dosent even strain dont even have to ease out on the clutch... even with a tired old 22r... i think the guy just didnt know what he was talking about
