I am hoping to get new tires soon and would like 35's, but I can't afford to regear.

Will 34's, 3.73's and a 6 spd be a horrible idea? Should I just get 33's?

I'm in the same boat too and would like to know. I wanna go with 35's but might wind up going with 33's for now. I have the automatic though, sure that willl make a difference.

I have 295x75x16 BFG AT's which are almost a 34" tire with an Auto and 3.73's and its fine, I dont drive much on the highway but it will hold OD unless there is a slight incline and it'l be jumping back and forth. Acceleration is fine around town does not feel real doggy. I'd imagine drivability on the highway will be better with the 6 speed due to you being able to control the shifts at highway speeds.

I am picking up my 35s tomorrow so I will let you know what I think of them with 3.73 gears.

my 35's should be here in a week-ish. Lift in 2-ish weeks. I've got a 6 speed. I'll throw a post up in the stock section about how it does with the stock gearing.

Cool, thanks.

Installed the 35's and been driving on them for a few day. I already posted a bunch in another thread but thought I'd stick this here too like I said I would.

There is power loss. It's not awful. The new gas mileage is terrible though, I swear I can see the needle moving. So, if anything you'd probably want to re-gear for that reason alone, but it can always be done "post tires"

From what I've read here and heard from guys in the city here is 4.88's will run like stock on a manual and same for the 5.13's on an auto. I've been told 5.13's on a manual is probably overkill unless you're pulling a trailer - and would likely raise the RPM's back into gas guzzler range.

I'm sure some post-op rig owners can chime in on that though.
