Re: Gear Help!!!!!
If your not re-gearing for rock crawling, then your probably re-gearing to compensate for larger tires. The gear ratio, is often chosen to keep the engine in the same rpm band at the same speed as before. So, if the gears are chosen correctly (and they are available), you should be at about the same rpm at the same speed as before (with a corrected speedometer). In a perfect world that is.
So 4.13:1 gears should cause you to run the same rpms with the 35's as with the 32's. But I don't know of any that are available.
