Which gears for 35s
I have a 2011 auto with 35s and im tired of having to turn my od off everytime I get on the highway. Im thinking about 4.88s or 5.13s. What kinda gas mileage should I expect? Right now I get right under 15 mpg.

Im going to go with 5.13s, everyone here says its hard to overgear with the autos, plus I want the extra "Umph!"
Most mileage I've seen here on the forum is between 15 and 18 mpg. It depends on the terrain. Flat areas will get better, mountain areas will get worse.

I wouldn't even consider the 4.88's. I have had my 5.13's about 4 months and love them. Sometimes I wish I had a little more but it's much better than stock and I had 4.10's. As far as fuel mileage it just depends on where you live and how you drive. I keep up with my mileage pretty good using an app on my phone and the best I've gotten is 17 mpg driving home from the beach and the worse I've got is 14.5 driving around town. Hope this helps your decision. Also I strongly recommend Dave at Northridge. I ordered my gears and master kits and had them in 4 days with free shipping.
