I think the ONLY way is if you have factory 4.10s. I have 3.21s and it's horrible, and I'm on 33s!

I have a 2dr 6spd, KM2 35's with 3.73 gears. So far no problems but I have taken it up into
the hills yet. It really depends on what kind of driving you do. What gears do you have?

You can get by with 3.73 or 4.10 but you are going to be very sluggish with the 3.21

i feel your pain...I've got the 3.21's and I'm on 33's. Right now it's tollerable with the 33's, but I'm gonna go to 4.88's when I get 35's.....I don't think you would be happy with the 3.21 gears and 35's.

I have a 6spd with 3.21 gears and am running w/ 35's. It is sluggish and I do eventually plan to regear but I've been driving it like this now for a few months and can honestly say it is tolerable. My advice is to go ahead with the lift and 35's, then regear when you can afford it.

Call the dealer and give them your VIN. They can tell you what gears you have.
