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.

Yea,
This is intriguing to me. If my calculations are correct (and often they are not), you would need a 38.6" tire to maintain the stock effective ratio with a 4.56 gears (the smallest aftermarket ratio available that I'm aware of). I haven't looked into it but someone has to be machining 4.10 gears for these rigs. If they're not, they should be....
