Here is the best gear calculator on the net. It lets you do a side by side comparison.

http://grimmjeeper.com/gears

BTW: The 6sp in the JK is the NSG-370, close ratio (you need to select it to get the proper transmission gearing).

But, at 65mph, with 35's, you will be running 2558 rpm in 6th gear.
