I went with the 5.13s because I am definitely considering going to 37s after the 35s wear out. Went to 4lo.com and did the calculations and determined that with a 6 speed and 37s I would still better than stock tires and 4.10s. After driving it with 35s I have no doubt that there will be plenty of power/torque to turn 37s.

Based on what I found out, if you have a 6 speed and stay with 35s or less 4.88s will be plenty. Hope that helps.

Definitely not with the 6 speed. 5.13s will be more than enough.

65 mph = 2800 rpms. I haven't pushed it beyond that yet. Set the cruise control and hit several inclines with NO problem.
